Description
The Mountain Distillery’s Rarest Expression — Hakushu 18 Year Peated Anniversary
The Hakushu Distillery sits deep in the Japanese Southern Alps at 700 meters above sea level — surrounded by forest, pure mountain water, and clean alpine air that give its whisky a distinctive freshness and delicacy. The 18 Year Peated Malt Anniversary Edition is a rare limited release that adds a smoky dimension to Hakushu’s signature character, celebrating the distillery’s legacy with one of its most complex and collectible expressions.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Complex and smoky. Peat smoke and fresh alpine herbs lead with a green, forest character, dried fruit, and a subtle Hakushu freshness.
- Palate: Rich and layered. Peat smoke and alpine freshness interplay with dried fruit, dark chocolate, and a warming spice from 18 years of mountain maturation.
- Finish: Long and smoky. Peat and alpine herbs linger with a deeply satisfying, mountain close.
