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.

Suntory Kakubin Black Label

Kakbin means square bottle which is the shape that this whisky bottle is. It is Suntory's entry level blended whisky but at a slightly higher strength at 43% made up from Yamazaki and Hakushu whiskies.
