Important Please Read - These pictures are here to ensure you are happy with the Condition of this lot.The depth of flavor and complexity in whisky is amazing, and I can’t fathom how people can stand to just drink thin yellow beer all their lives. This expression is a harmonious combination of malts from two other iconic Suntory distilleries, Yamazaki and Hakushu, which adds depth and complexity to the blend. The legendary Hibiki represents true harmony, the ideal of perfection, the paragon of 'The Art of Japanese Whisky' and its artisans. This is the first bottle I ever tasted and while I’ve tasted better since (Yamazaki 12, Yamazaki 18), this one still ranks high on my all-time favs. That’s why I’m pretty hesitant to get it when I can simply get another bottle of what I listed above.

My responsibility and obligation to submitted samples is simply to taste them and review them objectively as possible, nothing more. Dusty, mildly sherried, soft woodspice notes of vanilla, clove and cinnamon round things off nicely. I dont think Suntory would risk its entire brand on whisky, I am sure that they would have conducted proper tests and would not release any whisky that could even have possible trace of radiation. This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

They didn’t predict an almighty boom so they were severely underprepared for the unprecedented demand which followed.
