The Hakushu - 25 yrs

Composed of single malts matured for at least a quarter of a century, Hakushu 25 year old surprises by the contrast of its woody, fruity and slightly smoky aromas. On the nose, notes of plum, humidor and caramel are joined on the palate by aromas of crème brûlée, sage, lavender and roasted pineapple. The long and pleasantly smoky finish will leave on the palate some notes of hinoki the Japanese cypress. A single malt of extreme depth and astonishing maturity, it will be enjoyed slowly and will delight the most curious and lucky Japanese whisky lovers, given its rarity. Founded in 1973 in the heart of a lush forest in the Japanese Alps, the Hakushu distillery was at its peak the most productive distillery in the world, but today it is best known for its light, fresh and invigorating whiskies.
