Inspired by the forests and mountains surrounding Suntory's forest distillery, Hakushu Story of the Distillery 2026 captures the fresh, vibrant character for which Hakushu is renowned. Reflecting the influence of its pristine mountain environment, it delivers the bright fruit, delicate herbal notes and gentle peat smoke that define the distillery's distinctive style. This annual limited edition celebrates the unique natural setting that makes Hakushu one of Japan's most recognisable single malts.
