Hakushu Distiller's Reserve Japanese Whisky – 70cl
Hakushu Distiller's Reserve is the no-age-statement entry expression of the Hakushu distillery — Suntory's "forest distillery" set in the Southern Japanese Alps in Hokuto, Yamanashi prefecture. Founded in 1973, Hakushu is celebrated for its lightly peated, fresh, herbaceous house style — distinctly different from Yamazaki's richer profile.
Hakushu's mountain-spring water and forest setting at altitude produce one of the most distinctive Japanese single malts.
An accessible Japanese single malt — neat or with a splash of water.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Bright and aromatic — gentle peat smoke, fresh herbs, ripe green apple, vanilla, soft mint, soft pear, and a touch of toasted oak — clean and distinctively forest-like.
PALATE
Smooth and rounded — gentle smoke, fresh herbs, honeyed green apple, vanilla cream, soft mint, gentle citrus, and integrated bourbon oak — silky and refreshingly composed.
FINISH
Medium and clean — lingering gentle smoke, fresh herbs, vanilla, soft mint, and a gentle warmth fading evenly — bright and elegantly composed.
