Product Description:
A pinnacle expression of Japanese craftsmanship, The Hakushu 25 Year Old Single Malt is an extraordinarily rare whisky from the forested distillery in the Southern Japan Alps. Produced by the esteemed House of Suntory, this spirit reflects over two decades of patient aging, climate-influenced maturation, and uncompromising excellence.
Distilled in copper pot stills and aged in a combination of American, Spanish, and Japanese oak casks, Hakushu 25 offers unparalleled depth and forest-driven complexity. Its elusive profile—marked by smoky undertones, fresh herbal layers, and delicate wood tannins—has earned it international acclaim, including multiple World Whiskies Awards for “Best Japanese Single Malt.”
