Hibiki 21 has been named the World's Best Blended Whisky countless times at the World Whiskies Awards among many accolades, and for good reason! During that time, demand for Japanese whisky such as this has gone through the roof as a global audience has become aware of the quality that's long been produced there. Dr. Whisky says it's "Unbelievably balanced, and dangerously drinkable". So basically, it's pretty good stuff!
Sweet, caramalised nuts, some lemon acidity, blackcurrants and pears with vanilla, dark toffee and rich sherry spice.
Oak, dark cherry and sweet caramel notes, buttery with a wisp of smoke and some wood spice.
Long, with a hint of smoke.
A fantastic Japanese whisky.

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.
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
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.
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.
