Hakushu®
From Suntory’s mountain forest distillery, nestled deep in Mt. Kaikomagatake, Suntory Single Malt Whisky Hakushu is the fresh and gently smoky single malt whisky with herbal notes that is the revelation of Japanese single malts.
Straight from the untouched forests, soft and crisp waters and mountains of the Southern Japanese Alps, it is no wonder that Hakushu is a "green and fresh" whisky. Created by the dream for a new type of whisky of Keizo Saji, the second master blender, the unique taste made in distinct
Four seasons in high altitude is praised by the most curious whisky connoisseurs and lovers of gastronomy. Its crisp and vibrant feel, unique in a single malt whisky, enlivens and liberates your senses.
History
Born in 1994, Suntory Single Malt Whisky Hakushu marks 70 years of Japanese single malts.
Production
The water and environment at the Hakushu distillery is vastly different to that of the Yamazaki® distillery; as is the creation process.
Distillery
The Hakushu Distillery was founded half a century after Yamazaki®. Keizo Saji inherited his father’s vision in his quest for innovation and constructed this second Suntory distillery in 1973.
