Questions
What makes Hakushu distinctive?
Its forest setting in the Japanese Southern Alps and gently peated malt give it a fresh, green, herbaceous character with a light smokiness — quite different from most Japanese whiskies.
How should I serve it?
Neat or with a few drops of water to appreciate its fresh, layered flavours. It also makes an exceptional, herbaceous Highball with soda.
