Hakushu Story of the Distillery 2025 Edition Bottling Note
Hakushu Story of the Distillery 2025 Edition continues the design lineage of the 2024 edition, embodying the history and journey of the Hakushu Distillery.
This whisky is crafted by carefully selecting and blending smoky Hakushu malt aged exclusively in bourbon barrels. While Hakushu malt is naturally fresh, light, and subtly smoky, the 2025 edition offers an even deeper, more refined complexity. It carries a delightful balance of ripe fruit sweetness and refreshing crispness.
Compared to the 2024 edition, the 2025 release exhibits a slightly smoother bitterness, allowing the sweetness to come forward more prominently.
The story behind the Hakushu Story of the Distillery 2025 Edition explores the crisp yet profound flavours created at Hakushu Distillery, reflecting the rich expressions of the forest that surrounds it. The bottle label and packaging design feature imagery of the distillery nestled within the Hakushu forest in the Southern Alps.
The distinctive mellow peat aroma and the light, sweet, and refreshing character of Hakushu malt originate deep within the serene Hakushu forest.
