Hakushu 12 Year Old - 100th Anniversary Limited Edition 700ml 43%

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 43%

To celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2023, House of Suntory released this special Hakushu 12 Year Old bottling (among other limited-edition whiskies)! Inside you'll find the same whisky we know and love, a gently peated single malt with a distinctive herbaceousness, but the bottle has been adorned with a special label for the occasion. The illustration on the bottle captures the Hakushu distillery in green, representing the forest that surrounds it.

Tasting Note

Nose 

Toasted barley, seed & nut loaf, chopped almonds and a little bit of barrel char. Hints of milk chocolate and dried grass bring sweetness.

Palate 

Much more fruit on the palate, but it's by no means a sweet whisky. Still rich, herbaceous and grassy, with a waft of smoke along the way.

Finish 

Quite short, though enjoyable with orange peel and a touch of minerals.
