Description
Hakushu 18Year Old Limited Edition Single Malt Whisky
Suntory are one of the founding fathers of Japanese whisky, established by Shinjirō Torii in 1899 as a wine store in Osaka. Expansion in the next decade saw the company move its grain production to a new Chita distillery in 1972, and open a second malt distillery, Hakushu, the following year.
Established in 1973, Hakushu Distillery is located in the foothills of Mt. Kaikomagatake in Japan’s Southern Alps, where cool, clear waters flow through a pristine forest environment.
Like the environment in which it is created, the Suntory Hakushu is vibrant and verdant in flavour born of the ideas of second master blender, Keizo Saji.
This Limited Edition 18 Year Old bottle comes in a Paulownia wood box depicting the forests of Hakushu.
Nose: Strong, mineral, fresh wood shave, cotton candy, crisp Fuji apple, honey, vanilla, some smoke.
Taste: Very refined more on mineral, quite hazelburny.
Finish: Medium long with delicate mineral.
