THE HAKUSHU SINGLE MALT WHISKY

The Hakushu Distillery is a rarity among the world’s distilleries, located in a richly forested setting approximately 700 meters above sea level in the foothills of the Southern Japan Alps. This is why it has gained the nickname of the "Mountain Forest Distillery." The single malt whisky produced here is characterized by light, crisp flavors and aromas resulting from the combination of nature and highly skilled craftsmanship. Hakushu whiskies have won numerous awards at prestigious international competitions.
