Description
The Hakushu 25 Year Old in its old box presentation is one of the most exclusive Japanese single malts ever released, a whisky that epitomises the refinement and prestige of Suntory’s forest distillery. Matured for a quarter of a century in a combination of American, sherry and Japanese Mizunara oak, it achieves a rare harmony of depth and elegance. Bottled at 43 percent, it reveals layers of dark fruits, rich oak, leather, sandalwood and a gentle whisper of smoke, all carried on a long and graceful finish. What elevates this release into the realm of true exclusivity is both its age and its scarcity. The old box presentation marks an earlier stage in the bottling’s history, long before the surge in global demand made such whiskies almost impossible to find. Highly coveted by collectors, the Hakushu 25 Year Old is regarded as a masterpiece of Japanese whisky, a bottle that represents not just exceptional maturation but also the rarity and prestige of a distillery whose finest expressions are increasingly out of reach.
