Description

Hakushu 12 Year Old is a single malt Japanese whisky from Suntory's Hakushu Distillery, nestled in the forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake in the Japanese Southern Alps. It is crafted from carefully selected malt whiskies, each aged for a minimum of 12 years in various casks. Known for its crisp, fresh, and gently smoky character with herbal notes, it offers a vibrant and delicate profile. The whisky was temporarily discontinued in 2018 due to high demand but returned to the market in 2021.
