Hakushu 12 Year Old is distilled in direct-fire pot stills and aged in small white oak casks for 12 years or longer. The result is a sweet, velvety smokiness, with the scents of green leaves and fruits. Known as “the fresh Japanese whisky”, Hakushu is an herbal and gently smoky single malt from Suntory's Mt. Kaikomagatake distillery. Thanks to a mountain microclimate of luxurious forests and water filtrated by rain and snow through ages-old granite rock, malt whiskies born here are blessed with a rare softness and purity. Hakushu® 12 Year Old is the heart of the brand. Green with herbal notes, it is distilled in direct-fire pot stills, then aged in small white oak casks for 12 years or longer. The result is a sweet, velvety smokiness, with the scents of green leaves and fruits. Hakushu 12 Year Old is an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy a whisky with roundness, complexity, and a hint of smokiness.
