Hakushu 12 Years Japan Single Malt Whisky 43.0% Vol. - the multiple award-winning Japan Single Malt from Suntory Hakushu!
The 12-year-old Suntory Hakushu Japan Single Malt Whisky is made from only the finest and most original ingredients and is one of the best-selling Japanese single malt whiskies today. The Hakushu distillery is a flagship of Japanese whisky art, is undoubtedly one of the highest in the world and is located about 120 km west of Tokyo amidst the forests of Kaikomagatake Mountain in the Southern Japanese Alps and was once the largest malt distillery in the world. Here, 24 stills can produce up to 26 million litres annually. The distillery was founded in 1973 and expanded in 1981 with another production building with 12 pot stills. Today, only one of the still houses is still in operation, but the principle of diversity has been maintained. Nowhere else is there a comparable range of shapes and sizes of pot stills. Imported malt from Scotland and Ireland is used for Hakushu's bottlings. The special climate, the lush forests, the water - whose clarity and purity is only achieved by filtering rain and meltwater through thousands of years of granite rock - all influence the special malt whiskies produced here. Hakushu is the third distillery in the Suntory-Bowmore group, alongside the famous Yamazaki and Hibiki distilleries, and produces a highly regarded single malt whisky worldwide. The excellent work of the Yamazaki distillery was honoured in 2014 with an accolade from the world-renowned whisky expert Jim Murray: for the first time, a renowned British expert awarded the prize for the world's best whisky to Japan.
The 12 years Hakushu Japan Single Malt Whisky is a malty-fruity single malt whisky, has won several awards for its excellent quality and unique taste and received the Liquid Gold Award in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible in 2014.
