Haku® is the Japanese craft vodka from the House of Suntory.
The name Haku means “white” in Japanese & refers to the Japanese white rice that is the origin of the liquid. Moreover, it can also be read as “brilliant” a tribute to the craft of mastering a clear, clean, & luminous vodka.
Suntory has been making vodka since 1956, & Haku represents Suntory’s philosophy of
craftsmanship, meticulous attention to detail, & commitment to quality.
Haku is made with 100% Japanese white rice. It has 3 distinct steps in the distillation process:
• First, Japanese rice is fermented & distilled through a pot still to create a rice spirit in
Kagoshima, Japan
• Then, the rice spirit is distilled a second time through 2 different processes in a pot still & column still to create a uniquely flavored liquid
• Finally, the liquid is blended & then filtered through bamboo charcoal in Osaka, Japan
The resulting liquid’s taste profile is clean, soft, & smooth with a sweet rice flavor.
TASTING NOTES
Nose - A soft aroma played up by the sweet, delicate, floral aromas of rice.
Palate - A rich taste that gradually envelops the mouth with the natural sweetness & complex flavour of the rice.
Finish - A smooth finish, with a sophisticated, pleasantly lingering sweetness due to the bamboo charcoal filtration process.
Alcohol Vol. 40%
