At 800 meters above sea level, it's cooler, more remote, and built on a fundamentally different brief than Suntory's Yamazaki — same ownership, opposite climate, house style shaped by granite-filtered snowmelt and dense cedar forest. Where Yamazaki reaches for sherry richness, Hakushu stays lean, herbal, and mineral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Peated Malt is part of Suntory's annual Tsukuriwake series — limited editions designed to isolate a single production variable and age it 18 years to see what it becomes. Bottled at 48%, this 2024 Edition opens on green apple and pine, moves through soft campfire and crushed herbs, and finishes with gentle woodsmoke and mossy minerality. The peat is present. It just doesn't announce itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96 Proof\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpirits are only available for local delivery or in-store pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll orders for shipping will be cancelled immediately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62559823593631,"sku":"8475","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0232\/3203\/files\/IMG-0729.jpg?v=1761848795","url":"https:\/\/eastsidecellars.com\/products\/the-hakushu-18-year-old-peated-malt-japanese-whisky-2024-edition-700ml","provider":"Eastside Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
