Hakushu Distillers Reserve

The entry point into the Hakushu range, a non-age-statement single malt created to showcase the distillery's fresh, lightly smoky character in a more accessible everyday expression.

Fresh herbs, peppermint, pine and grassy notes lead the nose alongside vanilla and pear; the palate turns oakier with ginger, cardamom and umami depth before a medium finish carrying a light waft of smoke and a clean, salty tang.
