From Suntory’s mountain distillery, Hakushu 12 Year Single Malt Whisky is the herbal and gently smoky single malt. Its crisp and vibrant feel, unique in a single malt, enlivens and liberates your senses. Bright yet lightly smoky with the scent of basil, pine needles, and green apple, this champagne gold single-malt delivers notes of sweet pear, mint, and kiwi on the palate. With a woody finish, this Japanese whisky takes your palate back to earth with green tea and subtle smoke. Straight from the untouched forests, mountains and pure waters of the Southern Japanese Alps, Hakushu's crisp and vibrant feel, unique in a single malt whisky, enlivens and liberates your senses. Savor this whisky neat, on the rocks, or blended with water (Mizuwari). Keizo Saji inherited his father’s vision in his quest for innovation and constructed Hakushu Distillery in 1973, a half century after the first Suntory distillery, in the forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake.
