Hakushu is found deep within the mountain forest terrain of Mt. Kaikomagatake. A lightly peated Japanese single malt resplendent with delicious bright herbal notes.

​

Created in 2014, the Hakushu Distiller's Reserve was released to showcase the unique flavour of Hakushu whisky without the stigma of an age statement.

​

It contains a blend of delicately peated malt, heavily peated malt  and whisky that is aged up to 18 years in American oak, sitting at 43% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

​

Imagine laying in a luscious grassy field, on one side you have fresh pine leaves and on the other side thick bushels of spearmint dancing happily in the sunlight. You take a deep breath and notice the campfire smoke drifting lazily through your senses. Upon drinking you notice fresh green apples, pears and unbelievably more mint with a mention of yuzu citrus, teasing the palate. Ending with rich oak and a light brushing of smoke.
