It is a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/product-category\/suntory\/\"\u003eSuntory distillery\u003c\/a\u003e and, while not quite as globally famous as Yamazaki, the quality of single malt whisky produced here is nothing short of outstanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #383937; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eHakushu is known to use one of the most pristine water supplies in the whole of Japan, drawn from reserves at the base of Mount Kai Komagatake. The water here has a very low mineral content and is much softer than that found elsewhere in the country, and this helps the distillery to create a refreshing, crisp and well-balanced range of expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #383937; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eMany of the whiskies created here are lightly peated, giving peat lovers the perfect ‘in’ to the world of Japanese whisky.

These are all supported by that lightly peated character that also brings slight floral notes to the table. The peat opens up with more time spent in the glass and a little burst of lemon juice makes itself known too. All the while, very gentle cinnamon and cloves hide in the background, but they’re certainly detectable to a trained nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #383937; font-size: 25px;\"\u003eAward Winning Single Malt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #383937; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eThe extensive and delightful range of notes, combined with the unparalleled smoothness, have led the Hakushu 18 Year Old to pick up multiple awards throughout the years.

This exciting new whisky will replace the previous NAS Taketsuru Pure Malt.\n\nMade with a larger portion of malt from Nikka's Yoichi distillery than they previous version, this new Taketsuru Pure Malt makes for a smokier, heavier and fuller whisky. Given the success of other whiskies in the Taketsuru range, we expect this one to be popular with fans and critics alike, and with only 264,000 bottles released, it might not last long.","brand":"Nikka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45699703898348,"sku":"N3135","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0906\/7500\/files\/Taketsuru-Pure-Malt-Whisky-2020-Release.webp?v=1725742421"},{"product_id":"suntory-owner-s-cask-hogshead-1995-2008","title":"Suntory Owner’s Cask Hogshead 1995-2008","description":"A highly rare and collectible release from the Suntory Owner's Cask series that was distilled in 1995 and matured in a top quality Hogshead cask until 2008, resulting in flavour-packed, moreish expression that would keep you coming back for more time and time again.
