Suntory, Hakushu, 18-Year-Old, Peated Malt, 100th Anniversary, Single Malt Whisky, Japan (48%)
- Japanese Whisky
Description
Due to limited stocks, this spirit is restricted to 3 bottles per customer.
One of four limited edition releases created to celebrate House of Suntory's 100th anniversary, this comes from the Hakushu distillery that produces a peated style that is rarely seen in Japanese Single Malts.
There's remarkable freshness here, entwined with the subtle peat which expresses itself as a sweet smokiness. Citrus and green apple, herbal notes. The smokiness along on the palate but doesn't overwhelm - balanced and ethereal. Honeyed notes building all the time. The precision and layered flavour profile here is extraordinary.

About this spirit
The House of Suntory
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
