Cuvée presentation

A limited edition from Hakushu produced using heavily peated malted barley and released on the shelves in 2013. Suntory released several limited editions of Yamazaki and Hakushu to show the different facets of their two single malts, generally depending on the type of cask used to mature them. In the case of Hakushu, there are several heavily peated versions and those aged in sherry casks. As for Yamazaki, there are versions aged in bourbon casks, in puncheons, sherry and mizunara casks as well as a rare, heavily peated version that is reserved for the Japanese market. Some versions for the domestic market have an ABV of 48%, while those for export specify 48.2%.

The distillery Hakushu

Japan, Yamanashi. Distillery operational. Owner: Suntory

Built in 1973 in a subtropical forest, Hakushu quickly doubled its production capacity in 1978 to accommodate 12 pairs of stills. Despite this increase, a second distillery equipped with 12 new pot stills was also built three years later (1981) and baptized Hakushu Higashi (East). The 1980s recession linked to a 1989 tax reform eventually, however, led to the closure of the historic distillery. Hakushu's strength lies in its ability to produce different styles of malt under the same pagoda, from peated malt to unpeated, full-bodied and light malts, enabling the group's master blender to produce blends such as the world-famous Hibiki.Less well known than its illustrious colleague Yamazaki, its malts are nonetheless highly sought-after, particularly its very rare editions matured in ex-sherry casks, such as Hakushu Sherry Cask Edition 2014, and its vintage peated single casks, such as The Cask of Hakushu 1993 and Heavily Peated, Edition 2008.
