Hakata Whisky is a unique and highly sought-after spirit made by the Hikari Distillery in Fukuoka, Japan. It is distilled and matured using 100% barley, with a fraction of the barley fermented with Koji to create a savory, Umami flavor. The whisky is aged in Sherry casks in traditional warehouses and open-air warehouses, exposing it to the humid summer temperatures and cold winter temperatures of Fukuoka.

As a result, Hakata Whisky has a bold and almost classical flavor, with a freshness that is truly unique. It appeals to both the discerning whisky drinker and the casual enthusiast, with the Sherry casks playing a dominant role in its flavor profile. The Oak and Umami notes glide over the palate and hug the sides of the tongue, creating a complex and striking textural element. Overall, Hakata Whisky is a timeless, elegant, and classic journey from beginning to end. If you're looking for a truly unique whisky experience, be sure to try Hakata.

Worth having in the collection but not a daily drinker

I’d had this in Japan, and I was missing the older Sherry cask Macallans which are hard to obtain now, and I wanted to track this one down because of how smooth rembered it being, and it has that old sherry flavor much like Macallan. The downside is it’s so smooth, it almost loses any edge and you get more cask than Whisky. Don’t get me wrong this is still a very enjoyable and drinkable Whisky, like a softer older version of Aberlour, and deserves to be in the cabinet along with other great whisky, but this one proves to me I prefer the bolder peat style Islay malts like 16 year Lagavulin still than anything I’ve had from Japan, great though Japanese whisky is.
