Frequently asked
How is this different from standard Hakushu 18?
Standard Hakushu 18 uses lightly peated malt. This Peated Malt Tsukuriwake 2024 Edition uses more heavily peated malt — resulting in a more pronounced smoky character throughout the 18-year maturation.
Is this as smoky as Islay Scotch?
Approaching, but distinctively Japanese. The peat is more refined than typical Islay malts (Laphroaig, Ardbeg) — smoke is present but more integrated with the Japanese distillery character. Different smoke profile.
Is this collectible?
Yes — Tsukuriwake releases are limited experimental expressions highly sought by Hakushu collectors and peated Japanese whisky enthusiasts. Retain original packaging.
