This wonderful peated Japanese single malt whisky hails from Hakushu distillery, owned by Suntory. The distillery resides in the forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake, with the original Hakushu distillery built in 1973. Another building was added in 1981, called Hakushu Higashi. Rather fittingly, it boasts a fresh and foresty flavour profile.

The nose is light with cooked pears, herbal and grassy tones and a subtle, warming waft of peat smoke. An excellent example of the slightly smoky tones found in some Japanese whiskies.
