Hakushu 18 Year

Nose- Melon, lychee fruit, mizanura oak, ripe berries, cinnamon, rosemary Palate- Juicy berries initially, green apples, ginger spice, lime juice, mizunara oak Finish- Long, juicy finish of green apples, a nice amount of spice, and a squeeze of lime juice Mmm. Fantastic whisky. The nose is excellent, with my highlights being the green apple and melon notes. The palate is sublime, light, floral and spicy. The green apples shine through again, with ginger spice and zesty lime. The finish is also very good- and surprisingly long, which isn’t what ive experienced with other Japanese Whiskies. I think I like this more than Yama 18, and that’s saying something. Absolutely delicious, very complex, and easy to drink.

すごく美味しい。 白州らしい爽やかさもありつつ、シェリーカスク独特の風味もある。

Really incredible. Would love to try fresh. Such a smooth finish
