Hakushu ‘Distiller’s Reserve’ Single Malt Japanese Whisky (700ml)

The herbs are very up front with this one. Peppermint, pine and pleasant grassy notes. Cucumber and melon round out the nose. All the notes on the nose swim effortlessly through the palate, the mint developing sweeter notes as it goes on. Citrus zest also pops in to say hello. A waft of smoke appears during the long finish.
