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.

One word: outstanding! Although it´s not the cheapest whisky (but far from being expensive), this is the best overall whisky I´ve ever tried. No the sweetest, but the smoothest, the best quality, more elegant and balanced I´ve ever drink. You´ll find a perfect balance of fruit, oak, sweetness and spicy aroma/palate. This is quite linear, that is, what you get from the nose is quite what you get from the palate and finish. Worth every penny.
Marmalade on hot buttered brown hot toast. In alcoholic liquid format.
very pleasant blend, fruity, and sweet.
A decent whisky, but the American version seems commonplace, but stands out as a mediocre whisky. I probably expected more from a whisky that's out of stock in Japan. Worth it if you are collecting volumes of world whisky, but worth a skip if you're wanting something special.
Totally agree with the review below, the grain is overpowering. I have a bottle of the chita and I can only taste that, it's like a poured that into the hibiki bottle. It is a good whisky but it's not unique, I was expecting a lot and turns out to be just nice. Will have to try a single malt japanese because so far I can't see anything special.
