Suntory, the owners of Hakushu distillery, have crafted this whisky to go well with food. The Hakushu 12-year-old is soft, showing an exemplary integration between the peppery smoke and the spicy citrus flavours. It has a fabulous depth and sheer elegance of flavours.

Critics reviews

Jonny McCormick 91/100

Fragrant and herbal aromas, with pine needles, basil, green bell pepper, pea pod, black truffle, peppercorn, and smoke from smouldering dry mosses and wood shavings. It’s very smooth and refreshing, with pear, peppermint, lemon, lime, green tea, kiwi, and herbal notes. It finishes with chopped mint, more herbal layers, and gentle peppery spice. It’s a unique composition and a quintessential Japanese whisky experience.
