Suntory Hakushu 12 Year Single Malt #54

Suntory Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, Japan (#54)

Colour: Champagne Gold. Nose: Basil, pine needle, green apple. Palate: Sweet pear, mint, kiwi. Finish: Green tea, subtle smoke.

Produced at Suntory's Hakushu distillery in the verdant, forested surroundings of the Japanese Southern Alps' foothills. The pure water used in its production was filtered through the ancient granite rocks of the region.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Fragrant and herbal aromas, with pine needles, basil, green bell pepper, pea pod, black truffle, peppercorn, and smoke from smoldering dry mosses and wood shavings. It’s very smooth and refreshing, with pear, peppermint, lemon, lime, green tea, kiwi, and herbal notes, finishing with chopped mint, more herbal layers, and gentle peppery spice. A unique composition and a quintessential Japanese whisky experience."
