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.

We opened the bottle and poured a few glassed it smelt really good , we drank it and it also tasted really good . then we had a glass of our local Scottish whisky , then I decided to taste the Japanese Whisky again .BUT WE WERE all very surprised and SHOCKED to find it was not pleasant to drink after having a SCOTTISH WHISKY . Very Disappointed ???? FW
Such a lovely whiskey. Very easy to drink. Love it on ice.
For the price, it is the best Japanese whiskey out there.
Having a get together with the boys. I originally wrote a report on this that was not favourable and said I would let it breathe and report back again. Here it is from the group: Very fruity, cherries and bananas but rather flat overall. No life, no social redeeming value...lack of risk from the distiller. The question was "would you buy it?" and the overwhelming response was no.
The bottle I got with The Japanese Advent calendar is hopefullt just off. Because this stuff hadn't a light smoky nose and the flavor of cat vomit. Every sip resulted in gagging. Had two friends over who are avid whiskey drinkers that tasted it with the same reaction. Group vote was to pour it out. I spent all evening trying to choke it down hoping it would get better. It didn't.
