Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt Japanese Whisky 2024 Edition
Collection: Hakushu
Crafted in the serene forests of Japan’s Southern Alps, the Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt Japanese Whisky 2024 Edition is a masterful expression from the House of Suntory. This limited-edition single malt draws on nearly a century of whisky-making expertise, showcasing how Japan’s pristine environment and peated malt can intertwine to create a spirit both bold and refined. Using the exceptionally pure waters of Mount Kaikomagatake, this whisky has matured for 18 years, developing a character that is elegant, smoky, and deeply nuanced.
On the nose, it opens with vibrant aromas of sage and ripe green apple, followed by subtle notes of pineapple and a whisper of forest herbs. The palate follows through with a graceful balance of clean smoke, bitter grapefruit zest, and sweet acacia honey, underlined by mineral freshness. Its finish lingers with crisp citrus and soft smoke, leaving a lasting impression of both clarity and complexity, a hallmark of the Tsukuriwake (art of diversity) collection.
Bottled at 48% ABV, this Japanese single malt is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of cool spring water to awaken its layered profile. The Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt 2024 Edition is not just a whisky; it is a celebration of Japan’s whisky terroir, crafted for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate a refined smoke wrapped in orchard fruit and herbal finesse.
