Produced at Suntory's Hakushu Distillery, which sits deep in the forests of the Southern Japanese Alps at an altitude of around 700 metres, this whisky carries the character of its surroundings in every sip. It is fresh, lightly smoky, and unmistakably Japanese in style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose you get green apple, fresh herbs, and a gentle waft of smoke that never overwhelms. The palate follows with mint, white peach, and a subtle woody sweetness, finishing clean and long with just a hint of peat. At 43% ABV it has enough body to hold its own neat or over a single large ice cube. This is a whisky that rewards attention rather than demanding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you enjoy \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/427799216424\"\u003eJapanese drinks\u003c\/a\u003e with genuine provenance, the Hakushu Distiller's Reserve is a benchmark bottle. It is bottled at 70cl and carries the UK duty stamp, so what you receive is the genuine article, properly imported and duty paid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Serve Hakushu Distiller's Reserve Japanese Whisky\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese highball is the natural home for Hakushu. Fill a tall glass with plenty of ice, pour a generous measure, and top with chilled sparkling water at roughly a 1:3 ratio. Stir gently once and garnish with a thin slice of cucumber or a sprig of fresh mint to echo the whisky's herbal notes. It is one of the most refreshing long drinks you can make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat or with a few drops of still water is equally rewarding. Adding water opens up the floral and fruity notes and softens the smoke, making it an excellent choice for those who are newer to peated whiskies. On the rocks with a single large sphere of ice works well too, as the slow dilution keeps the flavour evolving in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor food pairing, Hakushu sits beautifully alongside grilled fish, sushi, and light Japanese dishes. It also works with smoked salmon, soft cheeses, and even dark chocolate.
