If you define harmony as 'pleasing combination of parts in a whole', then Suntory has found the perfect name for this Japanese NAS blend. On the nose, Hibiki combines fresh fruits, sandalwood and coconut candies with floral vanilla, burned toast and hints of sawdust. Tastewise, it's not easy to spot individual notes. Honey sweetness, orange zest and perhaps some bitter green tea? The finish is subtle, creamy and with a spicy touch of Mizunara oak. Quite harmonious and enjoyable indeed - but also an expensive reminder that harmony is not very exciting.

Comment:
A bit disappointing for the price range. Generally lacking in flavor compared to the Master's Select or age statement variety.

Nosing:
Musty sweetness, citrus fruit, soft oak, grain
Taste:
corn-like sweetness, bright citrus and butter
Finish:
Corn sweetness turns into almost a tea like flavor, honey
Comment: the nose on this almost has some bourbon like qualities. Musty grains make it almost sparkling. I will always keep a place on the shelf for this whisky.
