Cuvée presentation

Hakushu 12 year old was a classic in the range discontinued in 2018. The distillery was built with the aim of creating volume for Suntory’’s blends but quickly took a completely different direction, with a much more premium positioning, following complete revision of the distillery’’s equipment. The release of the first Hakushu single malt in 1994 marked the culmination of a project begun in the early 1980s.

The distillery Hakushu

Japan, Yamanashi. Distillery operational. Owner: Suntory

Built in 1973 in a subtropical forest, Hakushu quickly doubled its production capacity in 1978 to accommodate 12 pairs of stills. Despite this increase, a second distillery equipped with 12 new pot stills was also built three years later (1981) and baptized Hakushu Higashi (East). The 1980s recession linked to a 1989 tax reform eventually, however, led to the closure of the historic distillery. Hakushu's strength lies in its ability to produce different styles of malt under the same pagoda, from peated malt to unpeated, full-bodied and light malts, enabling the group's master blender to produce blends such as the world-famous Hibiki.Less well known than its illustrious colleague Yamazaki, its malts are nonetheless highly sought-after, particularly its very rare editions matured in ex-sherry casks, such as Hakushu Sherry Cask Edition 2014, and its vintage peated single casks, such as The Cask of Hakushu 1993 and Heavily Peated, Edition 2008.
