Hakushu Reserve Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70cl

Nestled in the Southern Japanese Alps, the Hakushu distillery draws on its forest surroundings to produce this genuinely herbal, green-leaning single malt, delivering fragrant, integrated character with soft, fresh vibrant complexity throughout. A thick, juicy blanket of vanilla interweaves with dewy rock melon, freshly cut leaves and soft mint, joined by manuka honey, mild smoke and green apple, developing into a slightly sharp, fiery palate where green leafy and grassy notes emerge alongside fresh mint and drying fruity white wine, closing with gentle wood spice lingering into a cooling, herbaceous finish of spearmint that reflects the distillery's genuine mountain-forest identity.
