HAKUSHU 12 YEAR OLD
The Hakushu Distillery is one of three owned by Suntory. Located in northern Japan in the forests of Mt Kai Komagatake this is a peated whisky, but it is one comprised of different whiskies produced at the same distillery. The components are a non-peated whisky aged in American oak, a non-peated whisky aged in ex-sherry/Spanish Oak, and a peated whisky aged in American oak. As such, the peat level goes down to a mild 7-9 ppm. Note: Announced in 2018, this product will be discontinued in some markets at some point beginning in 2019 with limited availability in the next few years.

Like .... drinking a good whisky in the beautiful forest [At Home]
When I had Hakushu 18 year old at bar, I felt how excellent whisky it was. Because the price of one bottle of Hakushu 18 yrs was so expensive, I bought Hakushu 12 year old. And I compared this with Muyagikyo 12 year old. The result was ..... both of them were excellent!! Miyagikyo 12 Year Old is a little sweeter than Hakushu 12 year Old.
Aroma: raisin, sweet, fruity, pear, green apple
Taste: Althought this is 43%, it is quite easy to drink and the liquor will soon evaporate on my tongue and turn to excellent aroma. It is like... mysterious mist in beautiful forest.
