This bottling of an 18-year-old Hakushu as an original bottling of the distillery is a slightly smoky whisky which is primarily stored in ex-bourbon casks.
The Hakushu distillery is located west of Tokyo and was built in 1973. It is one of the highest distilleries in the world. The term Hakushu roughly means white sand banks and refers to the water used from a mountain spring where the stream bed is full of white stones.
The whisky from Japan is like its makers. At first glance, reserved, respectful and polite. On closer inspection, however, enormously profound and multi-layered. Japanese whisky is the result of perfected craftsmanship. Many whiskies from Japan carry exotic fruity aromas and a floral bouquet in front of them.
