An absolutely stunning release from Hibiki. This was awarded the Trophy at the International Spirits Challenge in 2004, 2006 and 2008. It was also awarded the coveted title “World’s Best Blended Whisky” at the World Whiskies Award in 2007 and 2008! This is stonkingly good stuff!
Palate: Vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly and dried fruit combining with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon
Finish: Spicy, slightly drying, sweet
