Tasting Notes

Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.

Hakushu 12

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 93 Points

Hakushu Distillery is part of the Suntory family, and its single malt is completely different from Suntory’s Yamazaki malts. The nose has light spices, and is slightly grassy and nutty. The taste starts off with a lemon-lime citrus note that fades to reveal a touch of pears, grass, and a hint of campfire smoke. The finish is gingery with touches of black tea with honey and lemon.
