It boasts zesty notes of fresh orange peel and apricot, along with a peppery spice which works wonders alongside the smooth, decadent flavour of white chocolate, lingering longingly on the palate.

The production process is very similar to that for Scotch whisky, and the product is the closest in style to Scotch of all non-Scotch whisk(e)y. Suntory's specially designed bottle of Hibiki Japanese Harmony - Master's Select highlights the traditional Japanese symbols of the Sakura flower (cherry blossom), Goshoguruma (royal carriage) and Ryusuimon (streaming water). Harmony - a rather apt word to describe this well-balanced Japanese blended whisky from the Hibiki range.Hibiki, meaning “resonance” was launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory’s 90th anniversary, and has ever since been embraced as the paragon of The Art of Japanese Whisky, the very product of Japanese nature and her people. Absolutely love everything about it, from the subtlety and smoothness of its taste and scent to the afterglow. This is a benchmark Japanese whisky that is smooth and gentle, with aromas and flavours of honey, candied. Representing a mastery of the art of blending, this delicate balance of several malt and grain whiskies is meticulously crafted to create a full orchestra of flavors and aromas in celebration of 100 years of Suntory Whisky.

This fine blend of malt and grain whisky has created a blend which has a floral nose, with a sweet orange palate and a long subtle finish with just a hint of Japanese oak. Nose: delicate scent of polished copper and light vanilla to start with, developing complex floral, green, mossy then fresh oaky notes, changing all the time.
