The Hakushu 12 year old 70cl

Japanese Single malts have been doing exceptionally well in blind tastings recently, and Hakashu is no exception. Soft and fruity on the nose, with tinned peaches, lychees and mandarins. Behind this a cosmetic aroma of cold cream and Lux soap flakes. A hint of smoke. Water freshens it: fresh laundry, green apples, wild mint. A soft texture, with apples and a short, fresh finish. Hakushu Distillery pronounced ˜Hack-shoo", which means ˜white sand bar" stands more than twice the altitude of Scotland's highest distillery, in the shadow of the pale granite pyramid of Mount Kai-komagateke. T he distillery is the largest in the world - although half its stills are currently mothballed - and the entire site extends to 210 acres, mostly covered by deep green sub-tropical forest, and mostly protected as a nature reserve.
