Suntory The Hakushu 12 Years Old Single Malt is an exceptional Japanese whisky produced in the renowned Hakushu distillery. Situated amidst the lush forests of the southern Japanese Alps, this distillery uses the region's particularly pure spring water, which gives the whisky its unmistakable freshness and clarity. Since its foundation in 1973, the Hakushu distillery has been known for its elegant, subtly smoky whisky style, which differs from the typical Japanese whiskies.
Matured for 12 years, this single malt is characterized by a harmonious balance of gentle peat notes, fresh herbal aromas and a slight sweetness. The maturation in American oak barrels ensures a pleasant depth and soft structure. Thanks to its unique combination of freshness and subtle smokiness, Hakushu 12 is a real highlight for whisky lovers looking for Japanese sophistication with a hint of Scottish character.
The elegant gift box (GB) also makes it an ideal present for whisky connoisseurs looking for a special drop. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Light gold.
Nose: Fresh notes of green apple, pear and mint, accompanied by a light smokiness and a hint of citrus.
Taste: Smooth and balanced with nuances of honey, green tea, fresh herbs and a hint of vanilla. Subtle smoke gives the whisky a pleasant depth.
Finish: Long and elegant with mineral notes, gentle peat smoke and a hint of oak.
The Hakushu 12 Years Old is a whisky that should be enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water to fully develop its fine aromas. It is also ideal for the Japanese "highball" - served with soda and ice, which brings out its fresh and light notes. It harmonizes well with light fish dishes, sushi or fine cheeses. It also offers an exquisite taste experience with dark chocolate or roasted nuts. (automated translation)
Braucht etwas Zeit und Luft im Glas. Dann kommen seine wunderbar floralen Duftkomponenten nach Zitronengras und Basilikum schön zur Geltung. Dieser Single ist ein sehr sanfter, ja feminin wirkender Whisky mit ausgeprägt floraler Duftigkeit, leicht und spielerisch. Duft und Geschmack des rauchigen Bourbon-Fasses sind zwar anfänglich spürbar, werden aber schnell abgemildert, sobald der Whisky im Glas ist und mit Luft in Kontakt kommt. Der HAKUSHU 12yo dürfte auch Frauen ansprechen. Mild aber sehr komplex ist er nichts Geringeres als ein Traum-Whisky.
