Superb craftsmanship and excellence can be found in so many different ways in this world. You can see it in the masterful strokes of a perfectly executed painting. You can enjoy the richness of it in the quiet tones of a classic symphony as it rises up to a thrilling crescendo … and you can taste it in a bright and overwhelmingly beautiful sip of Suntory’s The Hakushi 18 year old single malt whiskey. The nose bubbles up with hits of vibrant orange rinds and darkly baked pear with tones of newly blended fruit salad. A subtle note of smokiness is hidden between the spreading warmth.
