About This Whisky
This half-litre bottle holds Hibiki 12 Year Old, Suntory's youngest age-stated Hibiki: a blend of Yamazaki and Hakushu malts with Chita grain whisky, bottled at 43%.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Plum, pineapple and honey, with vanilla custard and a little orange peel.
- Palate: Soft and velvety, with stone fruit, gentle spice, butterscotch and light oak.
- Finish: Medium to long, with lingering sweetness and a touch of cinnamon.
Serving & Food
Try it neat and slightly cool in a rocks glass, or with one large ice cube for a slower sip. It pairs nicely with plum-glazed pork, yakitori with tare, or an almond tart.
Good to Know
What's special about it? Part of the malt was aged in umeshu (plum liqueur) casks.
Is it still made? No. It was replaced by Harmony when aged stocks tightened.
