The Hakushu Single Malt Japanese Whisky

ABV: 43%
 
Nose: 
The herbs are very up front with this one. Peppermint, pine and pleasant grassy notes. Cucumber and melon round out the nose.
 
Palate: 
All the notes on the nose swim effortlessly through the palate, the mint developing sweeter notes as it goes on. Citrus zest also pops in to say hello.
 
Finish: 
A waft of smoke appears during the long finish.
