Buy Hakushu 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Online

Buy Hakushu 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Online at KL Wine Merchants. The Hakushu 18 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky uses exclusively malted barley, which the distillery mills and mashes with water sourced from the Ojira and Jingu Rivers. This water, known for its unique softness and purity, filters through the granite rocks of the Japanese Alps. After mashing, a unique strain of yeast ferments the grains in wooden washbacks, with Hakushu Distillery boasting thousands of unique strains. Despite the additional cost and labor required, wooden washbacks as compared to stainless steel washbacks take advantage of the distillery’s unique location by incorporating naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms into the wash.

After fermentation, the distillery distills the wash twice in Hakushu’s copper pot stills before laying the whisky to rest in its warehouses. Once the whisky ages for at least 18 years, the team brings it to proof with pure Japanese spring water. As a result of the whisky’s slumber in Japan’s deep forests, Hakushu 18 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky has a fruity aroma, with hints of orange, pear and dry smoke. Notes of pastries, baking spices, and honey buns dominate the palate, and lead to a finish accented by touches of smoke and cinnamon.
