Description
From Suntory's mountain distillery which is found deep within the forests of Mount Kaikomagatake, Hakushu is owned by Suntory; founders of the first Japanese distillery, Yamazaki. The original Hakushu distillery was built in 1973, with another distillery building called Hakushu Higashi (West) added in 1981. Like the environment in which it is created, the Suntory Hakushu is vibrant and verdant in character. The distillery is nestled at an altitude of 700 meters in the heart of a preserved forest in the Japanese Alps, benefiting from abundant water filtered through granite layers.
