The Hakushu Single Malt 12 Year Old 43% Vol

Here’s a detailed profile of the Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky (43% ABV)—a Japanese classic from Suntory’s forested distillery in the Southern Alps:

Tasting Notes

Nose :- Fresh and vibrant with toasted barley, chopped almonds, and seed loaf. Subtle barrel char and a touch of woodsmoke. Earthy peat layered with hints of green apple and herbal mint

Palate :- Crisp and lively with orchard fruits, vanilla, and light honey. Gentle peat smoke balanced by citrus zest and herbal freshness. Notes of pine, white pepper, and malted grain add complexity

Finish :- Clean and refreshing with lingering smoke, grassy herbs, and a whisper of oak spice. A subtle sweetness fades into a dry, forest-like character

Made from 100% malted barley, aged in American oak and sherry casks. Distilled in copper pot stills at high altitude, contributing to its “green and fresh” profile

Produced at the Hakushu Distillery, nestled in the forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake. Known for its clean water, seasonal climate, and forest terroir, which shape its unique style.
