"Green in color with herbal notes. Basil, pine needle, and green apple on the nose. Hints of sweet pear, mint, and kiwi on the palate and finishes with green tea and notes of subtle smoke." Tasting Notes Double Gold Medal, San Francisco Wine & Spirits Competition 2013
From Suntory’s mountain forest distillery, nestled deep in Mt. Kaikomagatake, Hakushu is the fresh and gently smoky single malt whisky with herbal notes that is the revelation of Japanese single malts.
Straight from the untouched forests, mountains and pure waters of the Southern Japanese Alps, it is no wonder that Hakushu is a “green and fresh” whisky, praised by the most curious whisky connoisseurs and lovers of gastronomy.
Its crisp and vibrant feel, unique in a single malt, enlivens and liberates your senses.
This golden, silky single malt mingles vanilla and honey with fresh apple and pear aromas. These notes are echoed on the palate alongside a wave of peat smoke. Add a splash of water to offset the modest but persistent alcohol heat and further coax out the fruity-smoky flavors.
