About This Whisky
The Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt from Suntory's 2024 Tsukuriwake Selection, bottled at 48% rather than the usual 43%.
Peated malt has been part of Hakushu's production for a long time, and this release brings it to the front.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Sage, ripe green apple and a flash of pineapple over soft peat smoke.
- Palate: Layers of clean smoke with herbs, grapefruit and acacia honey.
- Finish: Smoke that lingers cleanly, with fresh green citrus underneath.
Serving & Food
Serve at room temperature in a tulip glass. Smoked salmon on rye, charcoal-grilled wagyu skewers or a wedge of Lincolnshire Poacher all go well with it.
Good to Know
How smoky is it? Clean and fragrant rather than medicinal, thanks to the cool forest climate.
Is it coloured? No. No colouring or chill filtration.

About the Distillery
Tsukuriwake is Suntory's word for making many different whiskies at one site. At Hakushu and Yamazaki, the blenders vary the barley, the peating level, the yeast, wooden or steel washbacks, still shape and cask type.
