{"product_id":"hakushu-12yr-70cl","title":"Hakushu 12yr 70cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eNestled in the Japanese Southern Alps, Suntory's Hakushu distillery crafts whiskies of remarkable delicacy - expressions that capture the essence of mountain air and forest silence. This 12-year-old single malt emerges from that pristine terroir, a whisky that whispers rather than shouts, inviting you into contemplation with its subtle sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, Hakushu 12 reveals a crystalline freshness - herbal notes drift across like wind through ancient cedar groves, paired with a whisper of delicate smoke that feels less like fire and more like morning mist curling through pine. There's an almost mineral quality, a hint of green grass after rain, underscored by the gentlest suggestion of peat that adds intrigue without dominating the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palate unfolds with remarkable complexity for such a seemingly understated spirit. Fresh citrus and white flower notes dance alongside subtle oak, while that forest-like character deepens - think moss on stones, damp bark, the cooling sensation of shade on a summer's afternoon. The finish lingers with quiet dignity, leaving behind traces of green tea and a touch of warming spice that emerges gradually, like discovering hidden depths in an old friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is whisky for moments of clarity, for understanding rather than spectacle. It pairs beautifully with contemplative evenings or as a palate-cleanser between courses during a refined dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e**How to Serve:** Pour neat into a tulip glass and allow it to breathe for a few minutes. A single ice cube or few drops of water will unlock additional subtleties without diluting its essential character. Perfect at room temperature, never heated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suntory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56355677569348,"sku":"HO17505CNV","price":140.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/520_ad1dc066-dd89-4ead-8115-9293264ec7ff.png?v=1770766203","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/hakushu-12yr-70cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
