Hibiki 17 Year Old Japanese Whisky – 70cl 43%

There are few awards in the world of whisky that Suntory’s Hibiki 17 Year Old hasn’t won. It is simply iconic. A Japanese blended whisky made with aged malt and grain whiskies from Chita, Yamazaki and Hakushu. Nose: Quite fruity: plums and a touch of cherry. Oak and grains and some shy sherry notes in the background. Palate: Very light and mostly dry. The wood influence appears quickly Finish: Drying with the oak tannins holding court. STAFF PICK ‘This whisky is a masterclass in harmony. Matured in Japanese Mizunara Oak casks, Hibiki 17 is as gorgeously packaged as it is tasty.’ – Tori
