Hakushu Distillery
Located in the Japanese Southern Alps on Mount Kaikomagatake, Hakushu Distillery is renowned for producing high-quality single malt whisky under the operation of Suntory. The whiskies from Hakushu often boast a flavor profile characterized by notes of green apple, citrus, forest botanicals, and a subtle hint of smoke, all influenced by the pristine water source surrounding the distillery. Founded by Keizo Saji in 1973, Hakushu Distillery emerged as the second Suntory distillery, a testament to Saji's commitment to innovation and his father's vision. Notably, Suntory Hakushu achieved recognition by winning the World's Best Single Malt title at the 2020 World Whiskies Awards.
