2024 Hakushu Peated Malt 18 Year Japanese Whisky 700ml

The 2024 Hakushu Peated Malt 18 Year is a limited-edition Japanese single malt whisky from the House of Suntory’s celebrated Tsukuriwake Selection. Crafted at the Hakushu Distillery, this 18 year old release highlights the elegant side of peated Japanese whisky, combining clean smoke, forest freshness, and refined fruit-driven complexity.

Created to showcase Suntory’s diversity of whisky making, the 2024 Hakushu Peated Malt 18 Year explores the relationship between peated malt, long maturation, pure mountain water, and Hakushu’s unique forest climate. The result is a whisky that offers smoke without heaviness, balance without losing intensity, and freshness that separates it from more traditional peated styles.

On the nose, expect vibrant notes of sage, ripe green apple, pineapple, fresh herbs, and soft smoke. The palate is layered and expressive, showing complex smoke, grapefruit, acacia honey, mineral notes, citrus peel, and gentle herbal depth. The finish is clean, smoky, bright, and refreshing, with lingering green citrus and refined peat.

For collectors, the 2024 Hakushu Peated Malt 18 Year stands out as a rare bottle from one of Japan’s most respected whisky producers. Its limited release status, 18 year age statement, Tsukuriwake connection, and elegant peated profile make it highly desirable for Japanese whisky collectors, Suntory enthusiasts, and luxury gifting.

Whether opened for a serious tasting, added to a private collection, or gifted to a whisky lover, this bottle delivers the precision, balance, and craftsmanship expected from Hakushu.
