Suntory Hakushu 18 Years Individual Numbered Japan Import Single Malt Whisky 43.0% Vol. - rare old bottling for the Japanese market of a marvellous Japan Single Malt by Suntory Hakushu!
A very rare 18 year old Suntory Hakushu Japan Single Malt with individual bottle numbering in the old equipment for the Japanese market, which was bottled around the year 2007 and can today without question be called a special rarity.
The Hakushu distillery is a flagship of Japanese whisky art, is undoubtedly one of the highest in the world and is located about 120 km west of Tokyo amidst the forests of the Kaikomagatake mountain in the southern Japanese Alps and was once the largest malt distillery in the world. The distillery was founded in 1973 and expanded in 1981 with another production building with 12 pot stills. Today, only one of the still houses is still in operation, but they have remained true to the principle of diversity. Nowhere else is there a comparable range of shapes and sizes of pot stills. Hakushu's bottlings use imported malt from Scotland and Ireland. The special climate, the lush forests, the water - whose clarity and purity is only achieved by filtering rain and meltwater through millennia-old granite rock - all influence the special malt whiskies produced here. Hakushu is the third distillery in the Suntory-Bowmore group, alongside the famous Yamazaki and Hibiki distilleries, and produces a highly regarded single malt whisky worldwide. Thus, the excellent work of the Yamazaki distillery was honoured in 2014 with a knighthood by the world-renowned whisky expert Jim Murray: for the first time, a renowned British expert has given the award for the world's best whisky to Japan.
An early bottling of the 18 year old Hakushu Japan Single Malt Whisky and a sweet single malt whisky with distinct oak notes as well as noticeable smoke, which has been awarded several times for its excellent quality as well as unique taste. This early and old expression of the 18 year old Hakushu Japan Single Malt is today among the connoisseurs, the discerning whisky collector and lovers of fine old whiskies to the coveted rarities from Japan and is hard to find.
