Hakushu Heavily Peated

Hakushu Heavily Peated, also known as Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve Peated, is a single malt scotch whiskey produced by the Suntory distillery located in the picturesque Japanese Alps. This whiskey is created using a unique blend of barley malt and water sourced from the Ojira and Jingu rivers, which are both located close to the distillery.

What sets Hakushu Heavily Peated apart from other whiskeys is its distinctive peaty flavor profile. The peat used in the production process of this whiskey comes from the bogs of Scotland and is one of the most heavily peated malts used in whiskey-making. This gives the whiskey a smoky, earthy flavor that is intense and complex.

Upon pouring, the Hakushu Heavily Peated has a deep golden color and a strong, pungent aroma. The nose of the whiskey is dominated by the strong smokiness of the peat, with a hint of sweetness and spice. On the palate, the whiskey has a rich, full-bodied flavor, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and dark chocolate intermingled with the smoky and peaty undertones. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a warm, pleasant sensation in the mouth.

The Hakushu Heavily Peated is best enjoyed neat or on the rocks, to savor and fully appreciate its robust flavors and aroma. This whiskey is a perfect accompaniment to a hearty and savory meal, such as grilled meats, smoked salmon, or aged cheeses.

At 48% ABV, the Hakushu Heavly Peated is a potent and strong whiskey that demands respect and attention. This whiskey is a perfect choice for those who enjoy the smoky and peaty flavors of a classic scotch whiskey, with a unique twist that is distinctively Japanese. Whether you are a seasoned whiskey connoisseur or just starting your journey, the Hakushu Heavily Peate is a must-try whiskey that is sure to satisfy your taste buds and leave a lasting impression.
