Color
The color is dark brown with a golden hue.
Scent
The rich and deep aroma of the whiskey attracts you to the bottle. It has delicate notes of wood, caramel and dried fruits.
Taste
On the palate, it presents smooth notes of caramel, ripe fruits and sweet nuts.
Description
Produced at the Hakushu distillery, Suntory released this lightly peated malt aged in first-fill bourbon barrels in 2011.
Hakushu was the third distillery built by Suntory in 1973 to take on some of the burden of malt production for Yamazaki. The latter's grain production had also been completely transferred to the new Chita distillery a year earlier. Hakushu was built at the foot of the Southern Japan Alps, a location deliberately chosen by Suntory to create a contrast with the style of spirits produced in Yamazaki. Interestingly, a second distillery (called Hakushu East) was built in 1981, which features stills of varying shapes and sizes, allowing the production of distillates of a wide variety of characters. This contrasts with the now-dormant older facility (called Hakushu West), which had 24 large stills, all uniform in shape and size, but capable of producing only one specific type of distillate. The first Hakushu single malt was bottled in 1994.
