Description
Distilled at Hakushu and bottled by the renowned SMWS, this is an incredibly rare, highly collectible bottle of top-quality Japanese single malt. It was distilled in November 1981 before a 21 year maturation in a single cask. It was then bottled in June 2003. Described by the bottlers as having a flavour which pertains to "iced caramels and Madeira Cake", this is really delicious stuff.

Oaky, spiced finish with stem ginger and malt.
Overall
A robust and flavoursome whisky from a legendary Japanese distillery.
