Hakushu 18 Year Old – 100th Anniversary Edition is a masterful expression of maturity, place, and precision, released to commemorate a century of Japanese whisky-making excellence. Distilled at Suntory’s forest-enshrouded Hakushu distillery, this remarkable single malt draws its character from pristine mountain water, cool alpine conditions, and long, patient ageing. The nose is layered and evocative, revealing gentle peat smoke entwined with dried herbs, cedarwood, incense, and soft citrus, all framed by beautifully integrated oak.
On the palate, it is both refined and quietly powerful, unfolding with exceptional balance and depth. Subtle smokiness gives way to savoury complexity, polished wood spice, and a lingering freshness that is unmistakably Hakushu in character. The finish is long, cool, and contemplative, leaving an enduring impression of harmony and restraint. Bottled as part of Suntory’s 100th anniversary celebrations, this is a rare and highly collectible whisky — a profound expression of time, environment, and craftsmanship, and one of the most elegant mature Japanese single malts ever released.
