Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a masterful blend of grain and malt whiskies from renowned Japanese distilleries in Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita. Poetically called “Kanzen”, which means complete in Japanese, this blend honours the harmony in Japanese tradition, represented by its 24-faceted bottle.
A highly refined whisky, Hibiki whiskey is one of Suntory’s trademark products that is known for its smooth mouthfeel and is a good drink for new whisky fans. It offers enticing flavours of citrus peel and white chocolate. Hibiki Suntory Whisky has 43% alcohol by volume (ABV).
Nose: Beguiling aromas of apricots, orange blossom and marmalade, bolstered by subtle spiciness, too – cinnamon and clove. Elegant and seductive.
Palate: The generous fruit continues on to the palate, with oranges and apricots in abundance. There’s a little peppery spice, but the soft, succulent fruit takes hold. Nice balance, and nicely crafted.
Finish: The spiciness takes over from the fruit and lingers, along with a little barrel char.
