The Hakushu Peated Malt Aged 18 Years exemplifies the art of marrying ingredients, techniques and terroir. Throughout their long history of using peated malt, House of Suntory blenders have harnessed Hakushu’s climate to unveil intricate layers of flavour from the peated malt’s robust smoke character. Long maturation catalyzed by Hakushu’s exceptionally pure water reveals a wave of clean smoke, deepening into herbaceous mineral notes and undertones of ripe apples.

A vibrant nose of sage, ripe green apple, and hints of pineapple which lead into a palate full of complex smoke, grapefruit and acacia honey. The finish brings clean smoke that lingers with undernotes of fresh green citrus
