About this deal

It’s the signature of House of Suntory‘s “Monozukuri” craftsmanship, and Haku is the new iteration of that philosophy. Maker’s Mark’s claim to fame is that they distill their bourbon to the lowest proof in the whole of the US. Marrying the stunning traditions of sake, shochu and vodka this is a spirit inspired by the brilliant purity of light that is unparalleled in smoothness, delicacy and nuance. The six Japanese botanicals include Sakura leaf and Sakura flower for spring, Sencha tea (green tea) and Gyokuro tea (refined green tea) for summer, Sansho pepper for autumn and Yuzu peel for winter. The word can also be read as "better" - a tribute to the craft of mastering a clear, clean and luminous vodka.

Through the curved lines on the bottle, we represent the stream glistening through Japanese nature and Japan’s four seasons.Capitalizing on the ancestral know-how of Shōchū, sometimes (wrongly) nicknamed Japanese vodka, and on the ability of Japanese distilleries to appropriate and reinvent spirits from around the world, Japanese vodka remains marginal but it is not no less noteworthy. Shinjiro overcame numerous hardships to make his dream a reality, creating wine, whisky and brandy, and launching Hermes Vodka – the first Suntory Vodka – in 1956. The softly sweet flavour of Haku - meaning purest white - is crafted from the finest grade of sushi rice, which is gently fermented and distilled in the Japanese sake tradition before being transformed into the purest expression of vodka available. Produced on the island of Hokkaido, Eiko is a vodka obtained from the distillation of cane molasses and benefits throughout the process from the exceptional quality of Hokkaido waters.

We'll send them to be recycled and you'll save paper, carbon emissions and time at the recycling centre! Traditional gin botanicals also featured include the likes of juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, coriander and cinnamon, among others. The bright blue colour is what it’s known for, alongside the surprisingly fresh taste of oranges, both the peel and flesh. Haku Vodka from The House of Suntory is distilled from hakumai - Japanese white rice - with the word 'haku' meaning 'white' in Japanese, reflecting the clear and clean vodka, which is twice distilled and filtered through bamboo charcoal. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Like a sponge, the charcoal absorbs most/many impurities present in the distillate, eliminating things that might detract from the taste. The driver will input your year of birth into their device and may then require an ID check to complete the age verification process. A process unique to Suntory, it preserves and enhances the rice’s delicately sweet and subtle flavors.

Named for the Japanese word for 'white' or 'brilliant', this expression is filtered through bamboo charcoal giving it a soft, rounded taste. This rice vodka is made from a harvest of long grain indica rice which is inoculated with black kōji, fermented and then distilled into the Awamori spirit. The original Blue Curacao, Bols Blue is world renowned and one of the oldest flavours in the modern range. Absolutely essential for a classic Blue Lagoon cocktail, you can also pop fresh and fragrant Bols Blue in a vibrant Blue Margarita or add extra pep to a simple orange juice or lemonade.While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use.
