A premium, 18-year-old single malt from Suntory’s Hakushu distillery, housed in Japan’s forested highlands. It delivers a balanced profile of herbal freshness, orchard fruit, and a refined, subtle smoke. Mature oak adds depth without heaviness, yielding a long, clean finish. A sophisticated choice for special occasions or quiet contemplation.
Tasting notes:
- Nose: green apple, pear, lemon zest, mint and other green herbs, light pine, and a whisper of smoke.
- Palate: medium-bodied; malt sweetness with orchard fruit, herbs, vanilla, and toasted oak; gentle smoke and white pepper.
- Finish: long and elegant; citrus and herbal notes persist, with a refined, smoky dryness.
