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. Bottled at 43% ABV.
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.
