世界が奪い合う日本のウイスキー｜白州が特別な本当の理由

Suntory's single malt whisky, "Hakushu." Currently, its bottles are affixed with anti-counterfeiting hologram seals, similar to those on banknotes. Why is such protection necessary for a single bottle of whisky? Chinese buyers have bought up every bottle available in Japanese stores, making it impossible for Japanese people to purchase their country's finest liquor. Yet, there is something they could never take with them. Today, we've compiled the entire 100-year story of Hakushu. What happened before anti-counterfeiting seals were placed on the bottles The day Masataka Taketsuru traveled to Scotland 100 years ago The Southern Alps forest that the "water hunter" found after searching across the country What is happening at the "forest distillery," a rare sight in the world, at an altitude of 700m The world's strictest definition: "Limited to water sourced within Japan" Something that even the Chinese buying spree could never take with them A single glass of Hakushu contains the forest, the water, and twenty years of time. Please read to the end. ▼References and Sources Suntory Official Single Malt Whisky Hakushu "Forest Distillery" https://www.suntory.co.jp/whisky/haku...
