Crafted in celebration of Suntory Whisky’s centenary, the Hakushu 18 Peated Malt is a meticulous blend of selected malt whiskies, all aged for a minimum of 18 years in diverse casks. The blenders at Hakushu Distillery skillfully incorporate peat, balancing its influence with the pristine mountain water of the region, filtered through ancient granite rocks. This centennial offering is refined and elegant, presenting a smoke profile that is subtly robust, never overpowering, and, in the characteristic Japanese style, exhibits complexity and gentleness.
