Hibiki 21 Year Old Reviews

Nice balance 👌 Not my favorite, but Delish!

Really smooth. Extremely drinkable!

Delicious, hands down my favorite blend by a long shot

Absolutely incredible stuff, a big step up from the already excellent 17yo, it's hard to describe just how balanced and delicious this whisky is. The nose is sweet, nutty, with vanilla, toffee and some sherry. The mouthfeel is so smooth, and there's a beautiful mix of fruity sweetness, caramel, oak and just a hint of smoke on the palate, all balanced in perfect proportion. A nice long, oaky finish that stays with you for a good while. I've tried other blends including the much touted JW Blue, but honestly there is no contest between it and Hibiki 21, and that's no exaggeration. Every bit as good as its reputation, and well worth trying if you every find yourself with the opportunity to do so. Unfortunately this is nearly impossible to find in a liquor store these days, and if you do find it it will be at a substantial (>$500 USD) markup, but if you see it at a bar and have $100 to burn, treat yourself to a glass, you won't be disappointed.

Perfection.

Tried this and the 30 yo at the Yamazaki Distillery in Japan, and knew I had to own a bottle. Low and behold KIX airport duty free. Best blended by a longshot.

Get it while you can ...

I just ordered a bottle at $430. My colleague in Japan said that older malts are becoming scarce, and Suntory is moving from 10 year and 12 year to very young bottlings.

something so fascinating has to be tried! looking for a bottle of my own at this moment! found 1 so far but it is over $400

Marvelous

It really bloomed and opened up once some air hit it. Smooth and complex. Toffee almond prune raisin. Rich but balanced. Nice stuff. I like it better than the 17. And I paid twice as much !!! At the above price its a steal but you will never find it at that price again. Buy it anyway. Nice addition to any Japanese whisky collection.

The Goods

Lives up to all the hype. I way over paid because I had to see what all the fuss was. Not as complex as I was hoping but the best blended whisky I've had. Like it better than Ballantines. Great nose. Long finish. Suntory got it right. If you can get this for less than $300 it's a steal. All Suntory is overpriced but this stuff stands up to the best.

Amazing but insanely hard to find

Had it once . Best 21 yo out there by far. Only problem is getting a hold of it. Hibiki of any variant is insanely hard to get ahold of. Still got my bottle of 12, and harmony but I'd really love to get my hands on another one of these. It blows everything else out of the water. I'd love to know when yall will have another shipment

WWWWOOOWWW!

To get completely consistent reviews like this... is amazing... and my one tastes proves them right.

Exactly JW Blue is PISS! Would not waste a penny on that crap.

Caramel delight

A splash of water and a little time in the glass really intensified the caramel flavour. Quite an amazing whisky.
