The Hakushu 12 Years Old

The Hakushu 12 Years Old – Single Malt Japanese Whisky – 750 mL

The Hakushu 12 Years Old is a celebrated single malt from the Hakushu Distillery, nestled deep in the forested mountains of Japan’s Southern Alps. Known as the “forest distillery,” Hakushu crafts whiskies that embody freshness, subtle smoke, and vibrant natural character. This 12-year expression is a hallmark of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, offering a delicate yet complex flavor profile inspired by its pristine surroundings.
