Its name means resonance, and each blend brings together malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries with grain whisky from Chita, the way an orchestra brings together many instruments into one sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor Blossom Harmony, Suntory's blenders finish grain whiskies in casks made from sakura, the Japanese cherry tree, before adding them to the blend. The sakura wood gives the whisky a gentle floral lift and a hint of spice, a liquid tribute to the brief, much-loved blossom season that marks the start of spring in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 bottling is the first year of Blossom Harmony, the release that started the series, and its box is decorated with red and gold cherry blossoms on a white ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach year's bottling is made in limited quantities and dated on the label, which makes Blossom Harmony a favourite with collectors who keep one bottle from every year. It is equally a beautiful gift, from the sakura-pink label on the classic 24-faceted Hibiki decanter to the decorated gift box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJapanese whisky has earned a worldwide reputation for balance and precision, and seasonal limited releases from Suntory are among the most sought-after bottles on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral, with sakura and a hint of olive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acacia honey, French pear and a sweetness reminiscent of sakura mochi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and rich\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suntory (Hibiki)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Japanese whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blossom Harmony, bottled in 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grain whiskies finished in sakura wood casks; malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu, grain from Chita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat in a tulip glass to enjoy the floral nose, over a large ice cube, or as a highball with chilled soda water and a twist of lemon peel.
