Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky - 70cl
Hakushu 12 Year Old is the celebrated flagship of Suntory's Hakushu "forest distillery" in the Southern Japanese Alps, Yamanashi. Aged for at least 12 years in a combination of American oak ex-bourbon, Spanish sherry, and Japanese mizunara oak casks.
Hakushu 12 was discontinued for several years due to high demand and aged stock shortages, before being reintroduced. The lightly peated, fresh forest character is distinctly different from Suntory's Yamazaki.
A serious sipping Japanese single malt — neat in a copita.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Aromatic and complex — gentle peat smoke, fresh herbs, ripe green apple, vanilla, soft mint, soft pear, gentle Japanese oak, and warm toasted oak — distinctive and beautifully composed.
PALATE
Smooth and rounded — gentle smoke, fresh herbs, honeyed green apple, vanilla cream, soft caramel, gentle citrus, soft mizunara spice, and integrated multi-cask oak — silky, layered, and harmoniously balanced.
FINISH
Long and clean — lingering gentle smoke, fresh herbs, vanilla, soft mint, soft mizunara spice, and a gentle warmth fading slowly — bright and refined.
