Hibiki Japanese Harmony 2021 Limited Edition, 43%

Price: 125 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Japanese Whisky


Buttery and creamy on the nose, with fresh herbal notes of coriander, vanilla, baked pastries, apricot, and dried fruits, though the herbal notes intensify over time. The palate mingles fresh fruit-salad flavors, vanilla, honey, fudge, sweet citrus, taffy, and a delicate pepperiness. This expression has a fantastic texture, balancing soft fruits, fudge sweetness, and citrus, to finish with sweet melon, icing sugar, and a dynamic spiciness.
