The palate is lean and austere with Suntory's signature mid-palate alcohol heat structuring the event. Grainy and earthy tannins elicit the presence of peat before it is noticed in the aftertaste, which again shows herbal, grassy and mineral notes.
An exceptional, yet young and "fresh" spirit, meticulously crafted for its style, with lots of potential for future bottlings. Unfortunately, export markets seem to be lucky to receive any Hakushu at all, making this a rare and pricey find.
