“I did not expect to like this as much as i have, sipping on some now. The nose is unique to anything I have had before - spice and floral blossom alongside pine and oak with beeswax, one of the most interesting noses that will have you inhaling it for a long time, there are tones of smoke, and leaf alongside notes of rich vanilla and citrus leaf. The taste is as good, an initial intense spice with chili leads into a more beguiling sensation of baked tropical fruits, bananas toffee, slight peaty smokiness which I wasn't expecting, more spice and eventual mellowing over well balanced cream, spice and fruit. I can't believe how good this is, almost as good as some of my favourite Scottish single malts! and better than a lot of the Scottish blends. Unbelievable...”

Description

A world renowned Japanese blend, Hibiki 17 Year Old is made with aged malt and grain whiskies from Suntory's distilleries. Initially released in 1989, the blend is matured in Japanese mizunara oak casks at Yamazaki. Hibiki means harmony, which has certainly been achieved in this wonderful and iconic blend.

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Nose

Quite full. There are notes of honey and wax, resin and oak. There are notes of gentle smoke and cacao, hints of cooked fruit and a nutty note.

Palate

Sweet and rich. There are crisp notes of mixed peels, raisin and custard with a little zest and plenty of oak.

Finish

Long with notes of oak and cocoa and sherried peels.

Smoky as the Tokyo sunset

Drank it last night as I sat in a suite of the Park Hyatt Tokyo, gazing out across the skyline. Perfect taste, perfect moment.

If you have the opportunity, you won't be dissapointed

Absolutely fantastic. I've had the Hibiki 21 and this is just as good and half the price. I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference if they were sitting next to each other. Not enough o's in smooth.

I'm in Heaven

I delightful blend and exceptional dram to sip. So smooth and packed full of rich sweet vanilla fruity floral notes. A dram to be enjoyed with close family and quality food.... I'm in heaven!! Prices will only unfortunately increase more and more unless something else as exceptional as this can supply the market.
