Hakushu

Hakushu Distillery has a legacy of creating a variety of whiskies thanks to a willingness to experiment through a process of trial and error while taking full advantage of the bounty of nature in the whisky-making process. In 2003, Yamazaki 12 Years Old became the first Japanese whisky to receive a gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge (ISC), an influential international competition. Three years later in 2006, Hakushu 18 Years Old received another gold medal at the same event. Since then, the Hakushu series has won numerous awards at the ISC and other international competitions.

Hakushu single malt whisky, the prototypical Suntory whisky, delivers world-class quality, making it a milestone in the development of Japanese whisky and the embodiment of Suntory’s efforts to create a world-class whisky that would please the delicate Japanese palate.
