Peated Malt. 2025 Edition. 700ml. Suntory The Hakushu — the peated expression in Suntory’s 18-year Hakushu tier, from the mountain distillery in the Japanese Southern Alps that produces some of the most distinctive whisky in the Suntory portfolio.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHakushu sits at 700 meters altitude in the Kobushigatake mountain region, surrounded by forest and drawing on pure snowmelt water. The environment produces a naturally lighter, fresher distillate than Yamazaki’s valley-floor production — and the peated malt expression adds a layer of smoky maritime character that distinguishes it from the standard Hakushu 18. The 18-year age statement represents the longest standard aged expression in the Hakushu lineup, with the peated malt at this age a particularly rare combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle peat smoke, fresh herbs, green apple, mountain water\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey, white peach, soft smoke, mint, toasted oak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, smoky, refreshing, light spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hakushu Distillery, Hokuto, Yamanashi, Japan (est. 1973)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Single Malt Whisky, Peated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025 Edition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/japanese-foreign\"\u003eJapanese whisky at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Hakushu 18 Peated differ from the standard Hakushu 18?\u003c\/strong\u003e The peated malt expression uses peated barley in the distillation, adding smoke and maritime character to Hakushu’s naturally fresh, forest-influenced profile.
