Hakushu 10 Years Old Single Malt Whisky

The Hakushu 10 Year Old is a remarkable expression from Suntory's Hakushu distillery, often referred to as the "Forest Distillery" due to its serene location at the foot of Southern Japanese Alps. Aged for 10 years in a combination of American oak, Spanish oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak casks, it offers a delicate yet complex profile, with fresh, herbal notes balanced by a subtle smokiness.

On the nose, expect a burst of crisp green apple, herbs, and a touch of pine, characteristic of its forested surroundings. The palate reveals smooth flavors of honey, citrus zest, and light spices, with a gentle smoke that lingers in the background. The 40% ABV provides a perfectly balanced experience, neither too heavy nor too light.

As a limited release, the Hakushu 10 Year Old is a sought-after whisky, prized for its refreshing, natural flavors and the craftsmanship behind it. Whether enjoyed neat or on the rocks, this whisky captures the spirit of its alpine origins and offers a taste of Japan’s unique whisky-making tradition.
