Description
Hibiki Suntory Whisky - Japanese Harmony
The belief that their spirits embody the harmonious balance between nature and the Japanese people is central to the Suntory brand. They believe this embodiment makes their distillation processes an art form.
The Hibiki range (which means 'resonance' in Japanese) was launched in 1989 to commemorate the company's 90th anniverdary. Since then it has been embraced as the paragon of The Art of Japanese Whisky - the culmination of the harmony between Japanese nature and her people.
Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a harmonious blend of several malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, and 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 blending process creates a full orchestra of both flavours and aromas to enjoy, and truly shows why this is a renowned premium Japanese whisky.
The whisky itself has an enticing amber colour to it, which gives aromas of rose, lychees, just a hint of rosemary, just the right amount of mature woodiness and warm sandalwood. On the palate there is a honey like sweetness joined by both candied orange peel and white chocolate. It develops on the palate leading to a subtle but long finish, with hints of japanese oak (Mizunara).

Perfect Serve
As with all whiskies, drink them as you personally enjoy. We liked this served with a single large ice cube, so as to chill - but not overly dilute.
