A fantastic 18-year-old Japanese whisky from the Hakushu distillery, a malty, fruity whisky of real quality. A massive step up in quality from the standard Hakushu 12 yrs, this 18-year-old is amazingly well-defined (as we've come to expect from Japanese whisky) with deliciously rounded fruit and cereal flavors, at times surprisingly reminiscent of the finest Irish pot still whisky.
