Hibiki means “Resonance” in Japanese. From its launch in 1989 to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Suntory, Hibiki embodies the Suntory philosophy to live in harmony with nature and people. As the Founding House of Japanese Whisky and A House of Master Blenders, the House of Suntory has gone to great lengths to explore the breadth and depth of what Harmony can mean for a blend. Every Hibiki expression is one of the most sought after blends in the world where every Hibiki expression is meticulously crafted for us to discover a different kind of Harmony. Achieving the right balance and orchestration proved to be a great challenge from the start since the Sakura cask is one with strong character that can easily become overbearing. After much trial and error, we found that the grain whiskies finished in the Sakura cask best elevated the overall balance as a Blossoming Harmony slowly unfolding. The end result is a particularly unique expression of Hibiki. The invitation of an enticing floral bouquet, followed by the signature Hibiki depth and complexity of honey, candied orange peel, jasmine and chocolatey decadence, all climaxing to a surprising finish of bitter sweet spicy notes. Color: Amber Nose: Rose, lychee, hint of rosemary, mature woodiness, sandalwood Palate: Honey like sweetness, candied orange peel, white chocolate Finish: Subtle, tender long finish, with hint of Mizunara (Japanese Oak)

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
Floral sweetness, fresh fruits, candied orange, pomegranate, potpourri, grapefruit zest, raspberry taffy, and exotic woody base notes make this limited-edition sakura cask expression stand out as something rather special. … The fruity sweetness slowly dries on the palate …
The flavors here are subtle and balanced. Light orange peel notes and floral honey work with the rich malt whisky on the mid-palate. … Overall, it's a lighter style whisky to enjoy on warm nights.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
