Suntory Hibiki Harmony

Ultimately, this is a lush yet sweet whisky. It’s woody on the bouquet, with hints of candied rose. The honeyed essence unifies the flavors. It’s complex enough that tasting notes can really go where your imagination goes—unless of course you are distinctly familiar with the taste of Mizunara, a rare Japanese oak. Suntory has become a powerhouse in the whisky world, and this is due in part to the strength of their Hibiki products. This is an 86 proof spirit, both sweet and smokey, that somehow hits that rare spot between delicate and complex.
