Whisky

Also known as the `mountain forest distillery, the original Hakushu distillery was built in 1973, with another distillery building called Hakushu Higashi added in 1981. This is one of their limited-edition single cask releases, which was matured in Sherry casks. This was exclusive to the Japanese market in 2014, with only 3,000 bottles produced.

The Hakushu Sherry Cask 2014 Release is a limited edition that captures the spirit of Hakushu's verdant, forest-inspired whisky profile magnificently enriched by the depth and complexity of sherry casks. This rare expression is cherished for its harmonious blend of freshness with rich, sherry-influenced undertones. Notes of green apple, citrus, and mint mingle with dark chocolate, dried fruits, and a hint of smoke, culminating in a long, rich finish.

The Sherry Cask collection from Karuizawa features single malt whiskies aged exclusively in sherry casks. These releases are renowned for their rich, complex flavor profiles, with deep fruit, spice, and oak notes.

Hakushu Distillery is nestled amidst the deep forests of Mount Kaikomagatake in Japan’s Southern Alps, embracing unique environmental conditions that contribute to the distinct, refreshing taste of its whiskies. With a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, Hakushu has been producing premium malt whiskies since its establishment in 1973.
