Rating of article "Suntory 21Y Hibiki - 43% - 0.7l"
On the palate, the mellow roundness of expertly aged spirits is balanced by the assertive (iso-amyl) alcohol austerity inherent to all of Suntory's. Whereas you hardly notice the abundance of oaky structure neat, water (or ice) pronounce the powdery, earthy tannin structure of expertly crafted barrels without any bitterness.
The retro-olfactory finish is profound and long, akin to the rarest and oldest of elusive spirits - a dying breed. Faint hints of earthiness and peat evolve, but never overpower the floral, almost rye-like perfume of this exquisite blend.
Exceptional, but disproportionately priced compared to the exquisite Yamazaki 18.
