Hakushu 12 Year Old Japanese Single Malt 700mL

Hakushu 12 Year old Single Malt Whisky (pronounced Hack-shoo) is slightly more delicate version of Japanese whisky produced by Suntory. Hakushu is named after the location of its distillery in the foothills of the Yamanashi Mountains in the Southern Japanese Alps. The secret to the Haku­shu’s gentle mouthfeel and intertwined flavours of green apples, ground mustard, and mint lies in the distillery’s multiple sets of copper pot stills, the two varieties of oak used for the ageing barrels (American and Spanish sherry), and the naturally filtered crystalline underground water—the last of which originally dictated the forest location of the distillery. Bottled at 43%ABV , this 12 year old single malt from the Land of the Rising Sun is crisp and slightly smoky. Gift boxed and now becoming very rare and hard to find since being discontinued in 2018.

Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt

Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky (pronounced Hack-shoo) is 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. All the barley required for Hakushu 12 Years Old Single Malt Whisky production is imported from Scotland or elsewhere (including countries like France, England and Australia). The resulting whiskies make a significant contribution to Suntory's large number of malts and blends. Due to the distillery's height above sea level (700m), low pressure distillation occurs naturally, said to contribute to the light, fruity style of the whiskies. The Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt is considered to be a good introduction to Japanese styles, especially for those who enjoy smokey malts.
