Suntory "Haku" Japanese Craft Vodka

Notes from the Maker:
Made with 100% Japanese white rice, the name Haku means "white" in Japanese. The word can also be read as "brilliant“ a tribute to the craft of mastering a clear, clean, and luminous vodka. Filtered through bamboo charcoal, Haku® has an unparalleled soft, round, and subtly sweet taste.

The product design harmonizes the Japanese traditional aesthetic with an evolving modernity. To convey it as a Japanese Craft Vodka, we use Japanese material with a touch of artisanal quality, simple and pure. Through the curved lines on the bottle, we represent the stream glistening through Japanese nature and Japan's four seasons.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: A soft aroma played up by the sweet, delicate floral aroma of rice.
Palate: A rich taste that gradually envelops the mouth with the natural sweetness and complex flavor of the rice.
Finish: A smooth finish with a sophisticated, pleasantly lingering sweetness thanks to the bamboo charcoal filtration process.
