Harmony - a rather apt word to describe this well-balanced Japanese blended whisky from the Hibiki range. Hibiki Japanese Harmony is made with malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, as well as grain whisky from the Chita distillery. The whiskies are drawn from five different types of cask, including American white oak casks, sherry casks and Mizunara oak casks. An elegant expression, with wafts of honey, orange, a herbaceous touch or two, and light oak.
Red berries, green apple and layers of rich honey.
Melted butter and caramelised dates. A hint of fragrant sandalwood develops into warming, oaky spice.
Brown sugar, citrus peels, white grape, and black pepper.
I had never tried Japanese whiskey before; Master of Malt led me to Japanese Harmony. Thank you!! It's, without doubt, one of the tastiest, most memorable whiskeys I've ever had the privilege to savour!
...and a pale shadow of the Hibiki 17 :-( The nose is promising but the palate and finish is a little unbalanced (dare I say unharmonious?) Saddens me it's almost impossible to find a bottle of Hibiki 17 or even Hibiki 12 nowadays.
This is an awesome whiskey!
