Description
Haku Vodka is made from 100% Japanese white rice which is milled and polished. The white rice is fermented with koji rice to create a mash that is then distilled in a pot still. For the second distillation, it goes through two different processes in a pot and column still. The vodka is blended then filtered through bamboo charcoal and is proofed to 40% ABV. The curved lines on the bottle are meant to represent the streams glistening through nature in Japan as they run through the four seasons. Haku Vodka was exclusive released to the US in October 2018.

TASTING NOTES
“Look for aromas of crisp, fresh pear and citrus blossom on the nose. The Haku Vodka has a soft, appealing texture that envelops the palate, along with a slightly starchy and sweet flavor. It lingers with a pleasant, peppery tingle.”
