Limited centennial edition.  Hakushu 18 Peated Malt is composed of carefully selected malt whiskies, all aged for a minimum of 18 years in various casks, created in honor of Suntory Whisky’s centenary. The blenders at the Hakushu distillery work with peat, while smoothing the palate using the area’s exceptional mountain water, filtered through ancient granite rocks. Refined and elegant, this century-old Hakushu Peated Malt brings a smoke that is less harsh, never overpowering and, in typical Japanese style, more complex and smooth. The result is a spicy and peppery welcome, a slow wave of smoke that deepens as it reveals its herbaceous notes and green fruity nuances.
