Description

From Suntory's mountain distillery, Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is an herbal and gently smoky single malt. Its crisp and vibrant feel, unique in a single malt, enlivens and liberates your senses. Bright yet lightly smoky with the scent of basil, pine needles, and green apple, this champagne gold single-malt delivers notes of sweet pear, mint, and kiwi on the palate. With a woody finish, this Japanese whisky takes your palate back to earth with green tea and subtle smoke.
