The Hakushu 12 Year 100th Anniversary Limited Edition

12 years. 100th Anniversary. Limited Edition. Hakushu — a special centennial presentation of Hakushu’s 12-year single malt, released to commemorate Suntory’s 100th anniversary in 1999 in distinctive anniversary packaging that distinguishes it from the standard 12 Year expression.

Suntory was founded in 1899, making 1999 the centennial year. The 100th Anniversary series across Yamazaki and Hakushu presented the distilleries’ standard aged expressions in collector-tier packaging designed to honor the founding milestone. The Hakushu 12 Year 100th Anniversary carries the same mountain forest character — fresh, herbal, lightly peated — in a format that documents a specific moment in Suntory’s corporate and whisky history.
