Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a blended Japanese whisky built from malt and grain whiskies drawn from Suntory's Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries, with every component aged at least 21 years. Mizunara and sherry casks shape a nose of dried plums, cherries, sweet sherry, and roasted nuts, edged with sandalwood, honeycomb, and a whisper of incense. The palate is full-bodied and smooth, layering dark chocolate, blackberries, toffee, and baked spice over oak, leather, and that distinctive Mizunara wood. A long, slightly smoky finish of sweet oak, ripe fruit, and umami follows. At 43% ABV it drinks gracefully neat, and a few drops of water draw out the floral and wood notes. It suits the collector or seasoned Japanese whisky drinker more than the newcomer, and it is a bottle for milestones rather than mixing. We carry it because it shows what patient blending can achieve: depth and harmony in every layer, presented in a 24-faceted bottle that nods to the Japanese seasons.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate truffles — The whisky's dark chocolate and toffee notes echo and deepen the richness of good chocolate.
- Hibiki 17 and 30 flight — Tasting it alongside its siblings highlights how its dried fruit, sherry, and Mizunara oak sit within the Hibiki range.
- Milestone anniversary toast — Its long, luxurious finish of sweet oak and ripe fruit rewards a slow pour on a significant occasion.
