- Description
- Hakushu's flagship expression, distilled in the Japanese Southern Alps at Suntory's renowned mountain distillery, balances light peat smoke with bright fruit and herbal complexity. The palate reveals green apple, subtle citrus, and white pepper notes, underpinned by the whisky's signature mint and grass character. Matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and Japanese Mizunara oak, the texture is clean and crisp with a dry, refreshing finish. Ideal served on the rocks or as a sophisticated Mizuwari—a whisky that rewards both casual sipping and serious contemplation.
