Description
Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt – 100th Anniversary Limited Edition | 48% ABV | 70cl
The Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt 100th Anniversary Limited Edition is an exceptional Japanese single malt whisky, released in 2023 to commemorate 100 years of whisky-making heritage at the House of Suntory.
Produced at the renowned Hakushu Distillery, nestled deep within the forests of Japan’s Southern Alps, this prestigious expression showcases the distillery’s signature freshness, elegant smokiness and remarkable complexity.
Crafted from carefully selected malt whiskies matured for a minimum of 18 years in a variety of casks, this special release offers a refined interpretation of peated Japanese whisky. Unlike heavily peated Scotch whiskies, Hakushu’s delicate smoke is beautifully integrated with vibrant herbal notes, fresh orchard fruits and gentle sweetness.
Bottled at 48% ABV, the whisky reveals enticing aromas of green apple, fragrant jasmine, sage and subtle sweet smoke. The palate is rich yet elegant, offering layers of vanilla, honey, citrus and delicate peat, leading to a long, clean and gently smoky finish.
Presented in a specially designed commemorative bottle and elegant gift box, this limited-edition release celebrates Suntory’s century-long dedication to Japanese whisky craftsmanship.
A remarkable expression of mature Japanese single malt, combining rarity, elegance and the distinctive character of Hakushu. An outstanding addition to any premium whisky collection.
