Production of Suntory Hakushu Distiller Reserve Single Malt Japanese Whisky

The production of the Distiller Reserve Single Malt Japanese Whisky is a fascinating process that combines the highest quality with a passion for craftsmanship. Whisky production begins with carefully selected, premium ingredients. The base consists of high-quality malt made from fine barley malt. The water source used for mashing and final distillation comes from the clear, purest springs of the Japanese countryside and gives the whisky its distinctive freshness. After malting, the barley is soaked and fermented under controlled conditions. The fermentation process takes place in traditional wooden casks. The subsequent distillation is carried out in copper stills, which are almost decisive in shaping the flavor. Once distilled, the whisky matures in carefully selected oak casks, allowing the aromas of vanilla and wood to develop to their full potential. This meticulous selection of raw materials and the craftsmanship involved in distillation make the Distiller Reserve Single Malt Japanese Whisky a true delight.
