Hakata Whisky, crafted by the Hikari Distillery in Fukuoka, Japan, has been produced since the distillery's founding in 1912. Made from 100% barley, a portion of which is fermented with Koji, it develops a savory character. The whisky is aged in Sherry casks stored in both traditional and open-air warehouses, where it matures under Fukuoka's humid summers and cold winters.

  • I found the Hakata 12 to be less inviting than the 10 year old. The flavour and aroma were much less interesting.

  • Leans a little sweeter and fruitier than the 10 year, but isn't over sherried like the 18 year.

  • A few brown sugar crystals cling to the palate on the finish, which is a plus.
