The Hakushu Story of the Distillery 2024 Edition is an exclusive, highly limited release crafted from carefully selected Hakushu malt whiskies. Matured in bourbon barrels, this expression delivers a delicate vanilla sweetness that balances beautifully with Hakushu’s trademark refreshing and subtly smoky character.

Known as “the forest distillery,” Hakushu is celebrated for producing whiskies that reflect their natural environment—fresh, herbal, and gently smoky. Over the decades, Hakushu has built a reputation for craftsmanship and a style distinct from other Japanese distilleries, making it a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts.
