About this bottle

The Essence of Suntory series launched in Japan on February 27th, 2018. Each of the three bottles in the series features modern, artistic label designs and unique flavor profiles, very different to anything Suntory has released to date. The Essence series shocks with this single grain rye expression from Hakushu, a distillery which has never released a whisky like it. Distilled in 2012, it was bottled in 2018 at 57% ABV. Availability limited to Japan and online retailer, Dekanta.

Exelixi 5.0

Seems fruity at first, then spreads into a subtle spice. Very rich and oily. Wonderful. Smells incredible. Fruity and sweet. Spreads and lingers a long time. It's like a spicier Hibiki blenders choice.
