Description

The Hakushu Distillery Exclusive is a single malt whisky from Suntory's Hakushu Distillery, located deep within the forests of Mount Kaikomagatake in the Japanese Southern Alps. Opened in 1973, the distillery is known for producing a range of spirit styles, often showcasing peated production. This unique bottling, available only at the distillery, is presented in a 300ml bottle at 43% ABV. It is a masterclass in balance and vibrancy, embodying the classic Hakushu character with refreshing and citrusy notes. While it lacks a formal age statement, it is often described as vibrant and dark, with fruity, bright, roasty, and smoky characteristics, likely from a combination of bourbon and Spanish oak casks.
