About this deal

A light peat combined with moist forest floor, bamboo, grass, but more warm than bitter and a pinch of anise and tarragon. Nose: Pink grapefruit, galia melon, green tropical fruit, cucumber, fresh mint, summery barley fields. The nose is greeted by a fresh and invigorating bouquet, reminiscent of lush green forests, with delicate notes of citrus, pear, and a hint of mint.

From Suntorys mountain forest distillery, nestled deep in Mt Kaikomagatake, Hakushu whisky is the fresh and gently smoky single malt whisky with herbal notes that is the revelation of Japanese Single Malts. Peppermint, pine and very pleasant grassy notes as cucumber and refreshing melon round out the nose. This Distiller's Reserve is created using a blend of ""young talent"" whisky, a whisky of at least 18 years and a whisky of around 12 years for a distinct, rich flavour. Important: Your credit card will NOT be charged when you start your free trial or if you cancel during the trial period.Tasting the whisky was a really nice experience too, there was no sharpness or harshness to the taste, and it seemed like a very mellow Speyside to me.

Both lightly-peated and heavily-peated malts were used for this complex and deeply enjoyable whisky. The Hakushu Distillery was built in 1979 by Shinjiro's son, Keizo Saji, who clearly inherited his father's pioneering spirit!

Kaikomagatake in the Japanese Southern Alps, the Hakushu Distillery is without question one of the highest distilleries in the world. He embarked on his journey with a very clear vision as to what he wanted to achieve - to craft top-class, authentic Japanese spirits that were delicately flavoured to suit the nation's tastes.The colour is golden caramel, and it sits neatly on its own or over ice (I'm not a fan of whisky discs or cubes). Palate: All the notes on the nose effortlessly maneuver through to the palate with the mint sweetening as time progresses. Tasting Notes: It is no wonder that Hakushu is a 'green and fresh' whisky, praised by the most curious whisky connoisseurs and lovers of gastronomy. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
