Hakushu Distillery

The Hakushu distillery was founded half a century after Yamazaki. Keizo Saji inherited his father’s vision in his quest for innovation  and constructed this second Suntory distillery in 1973.

Built amidst the deepest forests of Mt. Kaikomagatake in the Japanese Southern Alps, Hakushu is without question one of the highest distilleries in the world. The majestic forest that surrounds the distillery shelters an abundance of plant varieties reflecting the many expressions of Japanese nature.

Hakushu Whisky

From Suntory’s mountain forest distillery, nestled deep in Mt. Kaikomagatake, Hakushu is the fresh and gently smoky single malt whisky with herbal notes that is the revelation of Japanese single malts.

Straight from the untouched forests, mountains and pure waters of the Southern Japanese Alps, it is no wonder that Hakushu is a “green and fresh” whisky, praised by the most curious whisky connoisseurs and lovers of gastronomy. Its crisp and vibrant feel, unique in a single malt, enlivens and liberates your senses.

For times when lazy tendrils of cigar smoke is the only company you need, your mobile silent, the only sound the thoughts in your head.
