白州 ピートモルト 2021
2021年リリース ー 重度のピートと非冷却ろ過
The distillery have created peated expressions before, but they are few and far between, and only a tiny portion of peated spirit goes into their flagship expressions, so this is certainly something a bit different.
It brings elegant, gentle notes of sweet fruits, creamy caramel and a subtle nuttiness, all backed up by that every present whiff of thick peat smoke.
A really fine creation that has us hoping for more peated Hakushu whisky at some point in the near future.
「白州」ブランドを形成するさまざまな香味の中でも、ひときわ特長的な“柔らかく軽快なスモーキー香”を存分にお愉しみいただける特別なシングルモルトウイスキーです。
白州蒸溜所の多彩な原酒の中から、ピートを強めに焚いて乾燥させた麦芽（ピーテッド麦芽）を使用して仕込んだモルト原酒だけを厳選。丁寧にブレンドし、特別な一瓶に仕上げました。白州モルトならではの甘柔らかいピーティな香りと、たおやかな薫香をご堪能ください

By Lottery Draw
Suntory did not unveil Hakushu Peated 2021 through an official release announcement, but through the announcement of a lottery in which the lucky winners will be drawn to win a ticket to buy a bottle.
Unfortunately this lottery is limited to Japan and you will have to be lucky to get your hands on one of the only 300 bottles that will be raffled.
