Suntory Hakushu Heavily Peated

Nose: Lemon curd and lots of campfire smoke , sweet peat and an earthy Element too. Ground black pepper as well. Given blind I would guess this is a young Caol ila maybe because of the lemony sort of profile, although there is some pepper which is quite unique.

Palate: Rather oily. Earthy damp peat. Wood smoke. Sweet fruit : think pears. Soot. Salt and a nice addition of black pepper and bitter wood.

Finish: A salty toast. Smoke and sweet peat to finish with.

Very good stuff in my opinion. Quite different than the 12 yo I had previously. Lots of Smoke of course and peat, and also salt I don’t recall from the last one. Pepper is here for sure. A nice buy if you can get hold of a bottle, and as prices have gone up, it’s not cheap. Most Online shops I use do not have it in stock (Mom,TWE) so I am not sure where to get hold of a bottle any ideas?
