Kaikomagatake, Suntory Single Malt Whisky Hakushu® is the gently smoky single malt whisky with herbal notes that is the revelation of Japanese single malts. The second distillery that the Suntory group opened in 1973 after Yamazaki in the Yamanashi prefecture in the foothills of Japan’s southern alps on Honshu. This whiskey boasts a smooth and refined finish that lingers, leaving a satisfying warmth that resonates long after the last sip. Straight from the untouched forests, mountains and pure waters of the Southern Japanese Alps, it is no wonder that Hakushu is a “green and fresh” whisky, praised by the most curious whisky connoisseurs and lovers of gastronomy. The blenders accepted the challenge of working with peat, made possible due to the distillery’s surrounding environment.

A light peat combined with moist forest floor, bamboo, grass, but more warm than bitter and a pinch of anise and tarragon.Some of the data that are collected include the number of visitors, their source, and the pages they visit anonymously.
