Whiskies from 'Hakushu Higashi Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Hakushu Higashi Distillery.

• Hakushu 12 Years Old

What you nose is not what you get. The palate is rather coarse as much as the nose is subtle. Water cuts the edges.

• Hakushu 12 Years Old

A perfectly balanced dram. Fruit and spices mingle gently.

• Hakushu 12 Years Old Pure Malt

A beautifully structured, appetising, whisky. Captivating.

• Hakushu 18 Years Old

Less sweet and fruity on the palate than the nose led you to expect. The balance is not there. Water makes it more bitter.

• Hakushu 18 Years Old

A colourful character, lively and dancing on nose and palate.

• Hakushu 1982 Sherry Cask

I would love this whisky if it had a little less wood. I want to love it anyway, but in the end the wood defeats me.

• Hakushu 1984 White Oak Cask

Its edgy assertiveness might bother aesthetes but I warm to a whisky that knows its own mind.

• Hakushu 1988 Bourbon Cask

Lean, limber and characteristically smoky. A clear sense of Hakushu malt without heavy wood influence.

• Hakushu 30th Anniversary Bottling

A beautifully composed whisky. No aggression, but a great sense of authority.
