HAKUSHU JAPANESE FOREST BITTERSWEETLIMITED EDITION

Hakushu Japanese Forest Bittersweet Edition: Nature's Symphony in a Bottle

• Region: Japan – Produced at the Hakushu Distillery, nestled in the Japanese Alps, this limited edition whisky captures the essence of its mountainous environment with an emphasis on freshness and harmony.

• Maturation: Aged in a unique combination of casks, including American oak, European oak, and Japanese Mizunara, imparting a complex profile with hints of sweetness, richness, and an exotic spice that is characteristic of the Japanese craftsmanship.

• Color: A pale amber with golden highlights, reflecting its balanced yet rich character.

• Aroma: The nose is aromatic and layered, with vibrant notes of green apples, citrus zest, and fresh herbs, complemented by subtle floral undertones and a touch of sweetness from the oak influence. There’s also a faint, earthy undertone that hints at the forest environment from which it draws inspiration.

• Palate: On the palate, the whisky is elegantly smooth with a bittersweet complexity. Bright fruit notes of apple and pear are balanced by a gentle oak influence, while Mizunara cask aging introduces a touch of sandalwood and spicy sweetness. A delicate smokiness enhances the depth without overpowering the delicate flavors.

• Finish: The finish is crisp and clean, with lingering bittersweet notes of green fruit, a slight herbal freshness, and a faint woodiness that leaves a refreshing aftertaste.

• Texture: Hakushu Japanese Forest Bittersweet has a light, smooth mouthfeel that allows the complex yet balanced flavors to unfold beautifully with each sip. Its refreshing finish makes it highly drinkable and a memorable experience.
