Hakushu 18yr
Hakushu uses four different types of malt (unpeated to heavy) run through four pairs of differently-shaped stills. Each single malt is a different blend of these bases. While still herbal, this example shows more sherried notes along with sour orange zest, tropical fruit, and some smoke. Complex.
Nose: ripe pear, dried mint, oregano
Palate: jasmine, mango, quince
Finish: long, pleasantly smoked, hint of bitterness
