Hakushu 12 Year Old

This wonderful peated Japanese single malt whisky hails from Hakushu distillery, owned by Suntory. The distillery resides in the forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake, with the original Hakushu distillery built in 1973. Another building was added in 1981, called Hakushu Higashi. Rather fittingly, it boasts a fresh and foresty flavour profile.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Toasted barley, seed & nut loaf, chopped almonds and a little bit of barrel char. Hints of milk chocolate and dried grass bring sweetness.

Palate Much more fruit on the palate, but it's by no means a sweet whisky. Still rich, herbaceous and grassy, with a waft of smoke along the way.

Finish Quite short, though enjoyable with orange peel and a touch of minerals.

Reviews for Hakushu 12 Year Old
Very complex and tasty
Very smoky compared to Distiller's Reserve. Fruit, cream and smoke on the nose. Sugar, mint, pine and smoke on the palate. Lingering sweet, light smoke on the finish. Well-rounded and complext. Fantastic drink, but the price is not justified. Japanese whiskies' price is simply out of whack.

**EXCEPTIONAL*12 Year Old Japanese*SUNTORY* Whisky
This Japanese 12 year old whisky is just superb, everything about it is perfectly balanced from the very first nosing, typical Japanese know how from start to finish... Green cut grass effect, slightly herbal with nuances of both apple & pear ending with orange peel, very clean with a hint of sweetness, enjoy neat or with a few drops of pure filtered spring water. Heavenly whisky!!!

A surprise whisky
I was surprised by this Japanese whisky as I was expecting it to be a bit harsh and lacking the complex flavours of most Scottish malts.
This was smooth and had some interesting but rather simple fruity flavours which were enhanced by the mild peatyness.
Pleasant but not robust.

Bad
I spent almost 70 US dollars to buy this 12-year-old Japanese whiskey. He is the most unpleasant one in my 50-year drinking experience.

Great!
I will make it short... that's the only whiskey that knocked me off physically from a chair. Its like drinking a fresh air with a hint of alcohol in the middle of a forest

Great Japanese Whisky
Hakushu 12, unlike the Yamazaki 12 & discontinued Hibiki & Yoichi 12 yr olds, is still somewhat available in the U.S. (specifically California). Overall, I find the subtle hints of smokiness on the nose & palate (really not a whole lot of smoke) make Hakushu 12 much more interesting and enjoyable than other Japanese whiskies in the same price range. The subtle peat smoke lingers in the background and really enhances all the mostly fruity notes that dominate. Probably a great teaser for the uninitiated of the joys that peated whisky can bring.

An especially nice whisky
Given the eye-watering prices these days I sometimes suspect producers are taking the mick. Would have thought this well worth fifty quid, however, but then again it’s more to my taste than Highland Park 18 at a comparable price and not far behind my favourite Balvenie 21 at much more.

Great whiskey!
This is a great whisky. The Japaneses oak offers a rich and unique taste that you will not find in other whiskeys. it's something to savor. If your used to Irish, Scotch, American. You will be glad of the experience.

A Japanese forest in a bottle
Intense flavors of forest and spice with a nice subtle smoke lingering. Great stuff but it comes at a price. Is it worth the price of most 18yo bottles out there? Maybe.... worth a try for anyone who likes stuff like glenfiddich. This is my go to when I want a clean fresh scotch. Id give it a 5 but that is reserved for a scotch that makes me want to never drink anything else.

Good whiskey to try.
Nice flavor, very light and smooth compared to some other single malts. I'd say it is a good buy at or around $50. I wouldn't pay higher than that.
