Notes from the producer

This limited-edition bottling pays tribute to House of Suntory’s unique design approach that brings “Monozukuri” craftsmanship to life and grounds it as part of Japanese culture. This same relentless pursuit for quality, ingenuity and expressiveness, has inspired the design of this centennial limited edition.

The illustration on the bottle captures the Hakushu distillery in soft hues of verdant green, representing the forest surrounding the distillery. It depicts Shinjiro Torii’s dream to make whisky blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and craftmanship that is still carried on today. The subtle play on light and shadow symbolizes the sun, representing the future shining on our Soul Place.

Nose: Vibrant with top notes of sage, ripe green apple and hints of ripe pineapple.
Palate: Complex smoke, revealing layers of herbal, grapefruit and acaicia honey notes.
Finish: Clean smokes that lingers with undernotes of fresh green citrus.
