Hakushu 18 Year Old 100th Anniversary - 48% 70cl

The distillery is commonly known as ’the mountain forest distillery’ located at the foot of the Japanese Southern Alps.

Suntory whisky was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii. Suntory’s master blenders have devoted themselves to producing whisky which has received awards and admired around the world.

Diverse fermentation, distillation and maturation techniques create the blending opportunities essential to achieving the signature subtle, refined and complex taste found in Hakushu whisky.

100th Anniversary Limited Edition, the Hakushu 18 Peated Malt is made up of carefully selected malt whiskies all aged for a minimum of 18 years in various casks, created in honor of Suntory Whisky's centenary.

The Hakushu Distillery blenders work with peat, while softening the palate using the exceptional mountain water of the area, filtered through ancient granite rocks.

Refined and elegant, this centennial Hakushu Peated Malt brings smoke that is less strong, never dominant and in typical Japanese style, more complex and gentle.

The result is a spicy, peppery welcome, a slow wave of  smoke that deepens as it reveals its herbaceous notes and green fruity undertone

Nose: Vibrant with top notes of sage, ripe green apple and hints of ripe pineapple.

Palate: Complex smoke revealing layers of herbal, grapefruit and acacia honey notes

Finish: Clean smoke that lingers with undernotes of fresh green citrus
