Hakushu 10 years old - Suntory - 70cl

Produced at the renowned Hakushu Distillery, nestled among the pristine forests of the Japanese Alps, Hakushu 10 Year Old is a vibrant and refreshing single malt that beautifully expresses the distillery’s signature style. Matured for a decade in carefully selected oak casks, this whisky combines fresh fruit, herbal notes, and a gentle smokiness to create a uniquely Japanese whisky experience.

The nose is bright and aromatic, offering fresh green apple, pear, grapefruit, and hints of mint and pine needles, accompanied by a delicate wisp of peat smoke. On the palate, crisp orchard fruits mingle with citrus zest, honey, green herbs, and subtle oak spices. The whisky’s light-bodied character is enhanced by a refined smokiness that adds depth without overpowering its natural freshness.

The finish is clean, lively, and refreshing, leaving lingering notes of citrus, soft smoke, and sweet malt.

Highly sought after since its discontinuation, Hakushu 10 Year Old remains a favourite among whisky enthusiasts for its elegant balance of freshness, complexity, and gentle peat influence. It stands as a classic example of the distinctive character that has made Hakushu one of Japan’s most respected single malt whiskies.
