Hibiki 17 Year Old: A fantastic Japanese blend, made with aged malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s three distilleries. Spicy and sophisticated, this is great for catching people out at blind tastings. Recently awarded a Gold ‘Editor’s Choice’ award from Whisky Magazine and picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010.

Ripe soft and pillow like with hints of smoke and toasty wood. Citrus leaf, cocoa, cooked apricot, ripe banana, hazelnut giving a crunch.
PALATE
Toffee sweetness stretches along the palate. Very clean and clear. Sweet with sultana and cherry.

Long and silky.
COMMENT
Relaxed and laid back. This is excellent blending.
