A perennial favourite and a must-try for anyone interested in discovering Japanese whisky. Hakushu is owned by Suntory, founders of the first Japanese distillery, Yamazaki. The original Hakushu distillery was built in 1973, with another distillery building called Hakushu Higashi (east) added in 1981.###Product DescriptionHakushu is surprisingly fresh Japanese single malt from Suntory\'s second distillery, \"the mountain forest distillery,\" located in the deep forest of Japan\'s Southern Alps. The Hakushu is embraced for its herbal, gently smoky flavor. Respecting Hakushu\'s heritage and signature taste, the aged American white oak cask malt whiskies are the backbone of this whisky. The innovative use of Hakushu lightly peated malt whiskies enhances its refreshing and crisp characteristics. The result is a whisky that is smooth in its complex nuances and as vibrant as a fresh green leaf.Tasting NotesSweet lime, green fruits then a hint of smoke
