Hakushu 18 Tasting Notes
In the glass, Hakushu 18-year has a bronze color with golden highlights. It’s clear this single malt has some age.
Hakushu 18 is an aromatic whisky. Minty notes and lightly peated malt are probably the most noticeable elements at first. But the more I look, the more I find. The nose includes notes of vanilla, cinnamon, almond, green apple, Bartlett pear, orange zest, fresh-cut grass, fresh flowers, and black tea. A lot is going on.
On the palate, this well-aged malt whisky shows its Bourbon cask aging with more spice notes and caramel. Malic flavors are also present, with nutty Sherried notes in the background.
True to Hakushu’s style, this whisky has a mineral and crisp finish. Additional tasting notes include honey, dark chocolate, almond pastry, tobacco, pine, and fruit salad.
Once again, there’s a lot of complexity in Hakushu 18. It’s certainly one of the most impressive Japanese whiskies on the market. But is it worth the price? Let’s explore.
