Hakushu Distiller's Reserve is a surprisingly fresh Japanese single malt from Suntory's second distillery, "the mountain forest distillery," located in the deep forest of Japan's Southern Alps. The Hakushu is embraced for its herbal, gently smoky flavor.
Respecting Hakushu's heritage and signature taste, the aged American white oak cask malt whiskies are the backbone of this whisky. The innovative use of Hakushu lightly peated malt whiskies enhances its refreshing and crisp characteristics. The result is a whisky that is smooth in its complex nuances and as vibrant as a fresh green leaf.
Distiller's Reserve is a whisky that is the exciting next generation of Hakushu. It bares no age statement and arrives in the glass at a standard 43% ABV. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks or as a Highball for a sublime Japanese whisky experience.

Tasting Note:
Nose: The herbs are very up front with this one. Peppermint, pine and pleasant grassy notes. Cucumber and melon round out the nose.

Palate: All the notes on the nose swim effortlessly through the palate, the mint developing sweeter notes as it goes on. Citrus zest also pops in to say hello.

Finish: A waft of smoke appears during the long finish.
