Hibiki Harmony Whiskey

Hibiki Japanese Harmony pays tribute to the original Hibiki first launched in 1989 to commemorate the Suntory philosophy to live in Harmony with Nature and People, the company says. Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo challenged himself to design a quintessential Hibiki blend by refining it to capture the core of a true Hibiki as a no-age-statement blend. Hibiki Japanese Harmony leverages the exact same malt and grain whiskies used in the first Hibiki blend, the company says. At least 10 malt and grain whiskies, aged up to approximately 20 years, blend together to create a harmony of flavors and aromas. Hibiki Japanese Harmony is amber-colored, with a nose of rose, lychee, hint of rosemary, mature woodiness, and sandalwood, according to the company. On the palate it tastes of honey-like sweetness, candied orange peel, and white chocolate. The long finish has hints of Mizunara (Japanese oak). The ABV is 43%.
