Hibiki Harmony Japanese Whiskey

For the record, single malts entering in the composition of Hibiki come from Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, while grain whiskey comes from Chita distillery

Nose rose, lychee, hint of rosemary, mature woodiness, sandalwood. Palate honeylike sweetness, candied orange peel, white chocolate Finish subtle, tender long finish, with hint of Mizunara (Japanese oak) Distillery Notes

A mix of whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu, as well as the different ‘weights’ of grain whiskies made at Chita. There’s mizunara, there’s sherry, there’s American oak, there’s smoke. It is approachable, gentle, complex, and long, with typical Hibiki fruitiness: strawberry, pineapple, peach, cherry blossom, balanced by delicate oak, and a palate which has a gentle roundness. It’s a master class in blending. —Dave Broom, Whisky Advocate Japanese Whiskey of the Year 2015.
