Description
Hakushu Japanese Forest is a no age statement single malt from Suntory's forest distillery in Yamanashi Prefecture, released domestically in Japan in 2023 at 43%. The name references the distillery's setting within the forests of the Southern Japanese Alps, and the expression is designed to evoke the natural environment surrounding the site.
Matured in Ex-Bourbon casks, the whisky shows a richer and more complex profile than many Hakushu expressions, with the flavour data pointing to sherried character, chocolate and dried fruit alongside honey and a leathery, leafy depth. This combination suggests a more matured and wood-influenced bottling than the standard core range, with the forest theme carried through into the flavour profile's autumnal, earthy complexity.
