Description

The Hakushu Distiller's Reserve is made in Japan at the distillery of the same name, and owned by Suntory Whisky. This single malt expression has been a new addition to the brand's core range since 2014. It contains a blend of delicately peated malt, heavily peated malt, and whisky that has aged for about 18 years in American oak.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Quite herbaceous.  Green fruit, mint, cucumber, pine, grassy, spearmint. Just loads of green fruit in this one.


Palate: Loads of green things coming out of here! Mint, cucumber, green fruit, grapefruit and just a touch of smoke at the back.  Dave Broom got yuzu…I’ve never heard of yuzu…


Finish: Light, delicate, refreshing and some subtle smoke.


Comments: This is so easy to drink.  It’s fresh, easy going (almost too easy) and just divine.  I wrote delicious at the top and circled it! That’s a big thumb up in my world.
