Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt 2025 Release: The Verdant Soul of Japanese Peat
From the pristine, forested mountains of Japan's Southern Alps comes a whisky of unparalleled elegance and balance. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for the world's finest spirits, is honored to present the Hakushu 18 Year Old Peated Malt 2025 Release. This limited-edition single malt is a rare and profound expression from the House of Suntory, embodying the perfect harmony between nature and meticulous craftsmanship.
Hakushu, known as the "Forest Distillery," crafts a unique "Japanese Smoky" style. Unlike the heavy, maritime peat of Islay, Hakushu's peat is more complex, gentle, and herbaceous. This 2025 release is comprised of carefully selected malt whiskies, all aged for a minimum of 18 years in a variety of casks.
The long maturation, combined with the pure, soft mountain water filtered through ancient granite, softens the smoke and weaves it into a complex tapestry of flavor. Bottled at a perfect 48% ABV (96 Proof), this whisky is refined, elegant, and deeply expressive of its mountain terroir.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Luminous, radiant gold.
Nose: A vibrant and herbaceous bouquet of sage, fresh green apple, and a hint of ripe pineapple. It evokes the feeling of clean mountain air, with a gentle, complex wisp of campfire smoke.
Palate: An elegant and complex wave of gentle smoke that reveals layers of flavor. Herbal notes, bright grapefruit, and a delicate sweetness of acacia honey coat the palate.
Finish: A clean, lingering smokiness that remains fresh, not overpowering. The finish is long, with beautiful undernotes of green citrus and spice.
This is a contemplative and sophisticated whisky, a must-T-have for collectors and any enthusiast of Japanese single malts. The Hakushu 18 Peated Malt is a masterclass in subtlety and depth.
This is an extremely allocated and rare release. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this pinnacle of Japanese peated whisky. Add this bottle of liquid serenity to your collection.
