Hibiki Harmony Japanese Whisky – 700ml

Description

Harmony – a rather apt word to describe this well-balanced Japanese blended whisky from the Hibiki range. Hibiki Japanese Harmony is made with malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, as well as grain whisky from the Chita distillery. The whiskies are drawn from 5 different types of cask, including American white oak casks, Sherry casks and Mizunara oak casks. The blend itself was crafted by the Suntory Whisky blending team, led by Master Blender Shingo Torii. An elegant expression, with wafts of honey, orange, a herbaceous touch or two and light oak.

Nose: Red berries, green apple and layers of rich honey.

Palate: Melted butter and caramelised dates. A hint of fragrant sandalwood develops into warming, oak-y spice.

Finish: Brown sugar, citrus peels, white grape and black pepper.
