Hakushu "Story of the Distillery" (2024 Edition)

A limited lottery-allocated release marking Hakushu's 50th anniversary, blending smoky Hakushu malt matured in bourbon barrels to tell the story of the distillery's forest setting.

Pineapple, vanilla cream and roasted green tea open the nose with gentle building smoke; the palate is light, soft and sweet with a touch of bitterness, offering a creamy, typically Hakushu texture with mild, gentle smokiness throughout.
