Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve is a Japanese single malt produced at the Hakushu Distillery, owned by Suntory Whisky. Introduced in 2014, it combines peated malt, heavily peated malt and whisky aged about 18 years in American oak. It is bottled at 43% ABV.
The palate introduces green apples and pears, more mint, and some yuzu citrus delivering an extra burst of freshness. There's the subtlest touch of creamy vanilla. Light smoke and oak define the delicate finish.
