Hatozaki 12 Year Old Umeshu Cask Finish
This craft whisky is a blend comprising of premium small batch single malts of at least 5 to 6 years old. The blend is further aged for 12 years in American oak casks before it is then finished in barrels that previously held the superior Umeshu liqueur for 6 months. Without colouring or chill filtration this perfectly balanced whisky is complemented with subtle accents of sweet infused Japanese plums.
Suntory Hakushu Distillers Reserve
Suntory Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve comes from the Hakushu distillery, often called the “Forest Distillery” thanks to its location deep in the Japanese Alps. Surrounded by dense woodland and fed by exceptionally pure mountain water, Hakushu has built a reputation for producing fresh, lightly smoky whiskies with a distinctly green, herbal character. Distiller’s Reserve was created to showcase that house style by blending young, vibrant malt with older, subtly peated components, giving it both brightness and depth. Its aroma shows fresh green apple, soft smoke, mint, pine and a touch of citrus. On the palate, it offers a clean, lively texture with notes of pear, light peat, herbal freshness and a gentle sweetness that keeps it balanced. The finish is crisp, lightly smoky and refreshing, making it a versatile Japanese whisky that works beautifully neat, with water or in a highball.
