Hakushu Distiller's Reserve is a surprisingly fresh Japanese single malt from Suntory's second distillery, "the mountain forest distillery," located in the deep forest of Japan's Southern Alps. The Hakushu is embraced for its herbal, gently smoky flavor.
Respecting Hakushu's heritage and signature taste, the aged American white oak cask malt whiskies are the backbone of this whisky. The innovative use of Hakushu lightly peated malt whiskies enhances its refreshing and crisp characteristics. The result is a whisky that is smooth in its complex nuances and as vibrant as a fresh green leaf.
Distiller's Reserve is a whisky that is the exciting next generation of Hakushu. It bares no age statement and arrives in the glass at a standard 43% ABV. Enjoy it neat, on the rocks or as a Highball for a sublime Japanese whisky experience.

The Hakushu distillery was founded in 1973 and is situated at the foot of Mount Kaikomagatake in the Yamanashi Prefecture. The distillery is very attractive with a double pagoda roof rising out of a large forested area. The name Hakushu is Japanese for ‘white sandbar’ which make reference to geological characteristics in the rivers close by. 

 Owners Suntory increased the capacity of the distillery in 1977 by adding another six pairs of stills in a separate building bringing the total to twelve pairs. Then shortly afterwards ‘Hakushu East’ on the same site was developed. Production in the first two Hakushu buildings ‘Hakushu West’ has now ceased with ‘Hakushu East’ taking centre stage. In this great new distillery the stills vary allowing for better contrasts and quality in the whisky produced. The maximum capacity is currently three million litres of spirits per year and the stills are heated by coal fires.
