The Essence of Suntory Whisky: Hakushu Rye Type
Single Grain
Hakushu // Japan
RARE
The Essence of Suntory series launched in Japan on February 27th, 2018. Each of the three bottles in the series features modern, artistic label designs and unique flavor profiles, very different to anything Suntory has released to date.
The Essence series shocks with this single grain rye expression from Hakushu, a distillery which has never released a whisky like it. Distilled in 2012, it was bottled in 2018 at 57% ABV.

Tasting Notes
"The Hakushu green character is there, but there is playful spice found amidst the grass, pears, and green apples. Herbs and young oak cut through the palate, which compliments the freshness instead of hindering it. The finish is short and intense. Enjoyable for such a young whisky. "
