HAKUSHU 18 Year Old Peated Malt 2024 Tsukuriwake Edition

Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt 2024 Tsukuriwake Edition represents a rare intersection of Japanese craftsmanship and bold peated character. Aged for 18 years in the pristine Southern Japanese Alps, this limited release showcases Suntory's mastery of smoke and subtlety—a departure from Hakushu's typically delicate profile. The 2024 Tsukuriwake Edition (meaning "layered creation") layers peat smoke with orchard fruit, white pepper, and mineral notes. Expect a silky mouthfeel with lingering smoke, dried apricot, and a touch of sea salt on the finish. The peating adds depth without overwhelming the distillery's signature elegance. A collector's piece for those seeking Japanese whisky with character and provenance. Limited availability.
