About This Whisky
This earlier US bottle of Hakushu 12 Year Old comes with its original box.
Bottled at 43%, it predates June 2018, when Suntory stopped selling Hakushu 12 in Japan and began limiting exports.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Pine needle, green apple and fresh herbs over a light smoky base.
- Palate: Juicy pear and kiwi with mint, soft honey and a faint peat edge.
- Finish: Medium length, clean and cool, with green tea and a drift of smoke.
Serving & Food
Open it with friends at around 18°C in small stemmed glasses. Serve with seared tuna tataki, vegetable gyoza or a light lemon tart.
Good to Know
Is it peated? Lightly; some malts in the vatting are peated.
How should I drink it? Neat, or as a 1:2 mizuwari with chilled still water and ice.
