Haku Vodka is a Japanese vodka that is made from 100% rice. Haku means "white" in Japanese, and the vodka is named after the Haku River in Japan. The river is known for its crystal clear waters. Why is Haku Vodka Good? Finally, Haku Vodka is distilled using traditional pot stills. This gives Haku Vodka a richer and more nuanced flavor than vodkas that are made with column stills. The main difference between Haku Vodka and other vodkas is the way it's made. Haku Vodka is made with a single type of grain, called "shochu koji." This gives Haku Vodka a more complex flavor than other vodkas. Haku Vodka is also charcoal filtered, which gives it a smoother taste. How to Drink Haku Vodka?Rounding out this list of the best vodka bottlings you can find in Australia is Hartshorn Sheep Whey Vodka from Tasmania. Alongside the product put out by Archie Rose, this Hartshorn expression is one of Australia’s most awarded – even sneaking in kudos as the ‘World’s Best Vodka’ (at the 2018 edition of the World Vodka Award). Part of the unique creation process behind Haku Vodka, the bamboo charcoal filtration is a Suntory proprietary method. Like a sponge, the charcoal absorbs most/many impurities present in the distillate, eliminating things that might detract from the taste. This gives the vodka a clean and clear flavor. Moreover, the minerals from the bamboo charcoal add a remarkably smooth and mellow character. Yes, Haku Vodka aligns with a vegan lifestyle. It does not contain any animal products or by-products, and its filtration process is free from animal-based ingredients, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians alike.
