Suntory

Hibiki 12 Years Old Blended Japanese Whisky 500mL

This whisky is blended using painstakingly selected malts aged over 12 years and multiple types of ripe grain malts of the same age. Suntory used the plum liqueur cask malts for storing plum liqueur to further bring out the gorgeously sweet fragrance that distinguishes their whiskies. It also has a rich, mature flavour through the addition of malts aged more than 30 years.
Suntory ceased production of this superb whisky in 2015.
Nose: Sweet, caramalised nuts, some lemon acidity, blackcurrants and pears with vanilla, dark toffee and rich sherry spice.
Palate: Oak, dark cherry and sweet caramel notes, buttery with a wisp of smoke and some wood spice.
Finish: Long, with a hint of smoke.
