Older pre-2018 version before Suntory changed their packaging in early 2018. Hakushu 12 Year Old is one of the top selling bottles of whisky produced by Suntory. A perennial favourite and a must-try for anyone interested in discovering Japanese whisky. Green with herbal notes, it is distilled in direct-fire pot stills, then aged in small white oak casks for 12 years or longer. The result is a sweet, velvety smokiness, with the scents of green leaves and fruits. Hakushu 12 Year Old is an ideal choice for those who want to enjoy a whisky with roundness, complexity and hint of smokiness.
