Hakushu 25 Year Old Limited Edition

Suntory is the oldest whisky making company in Japan. Its origins stretch back to a small shop, started in 1899 by Torii Shinjiro, which specialized in selling imported wines. Today, it is the country’s largest and most recognizable producer of quality whisky.

Hakushu 25 Year Old Limited Edition is a very limited and rare whisky from Hakushu. This 25 Year Old was awarded the Best Japanese Single Malt – WWA 2016. Sealed with a five-cord ‘Mizuhiki’, which symbolizes joining hands and heart of the giver with the recipient, this is the very essence of Japanese hospitality. Definitely one of the best whiskies from Japan that you should try!
