What Makes Hakushu a Pioneer of Japanese Single Malt Whisky?

Founded in 1973, Hakushu is often called “the forest distillery.” Located at the foot of Mount Kaikomagatake, it benefits from pure, granite-filtered water and cool mountain air that help shape its clean, herbal style.

Hakushu is also known for its delicate balance of lightly peated malt and natural freshness. This distinctive approach creates whiskies that are crisp, layered, and refreshing. As part of Suntory’s centenary legacy, Hakushu continues to define the art and purity of Japanese single malt whisky recognised around the world.
