Situated on the slopes of Mount Kaikomagatake in Japan’s Yamanashi Prefecture, Hakushu Distillery was built by Japanese drinks group Suntory in 1973. Keizo Saji, son of Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii, spearheaded the build of the distillery and later pioneered the growth of single malt Japanese whisky in the 1980s.
Similar to Yamazaki, Hakushu’s location was selected for its plentiful and high-quality water source. Suntory even bases its mineral water operations in the same area.
