Hibiki Blossom Harmony is a limited edition blended Japanese whisky from Suntory, celebrating the cherry blossom season. Part of the blend is finished in casks made from sakura wood, and it is bottled at 43% ABV. This bottle is the 2023 release.
Hibiki, Suntory's flagship blended whisky, brings together malt and grain whiskies from the Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. For Blossom Harmony, grain whiskies finished in sakura (cherry wood) casks are added to the blend, giving it a distinctive floral elegance that celebrates spring in Japan.
Amber in colour, it has a floral nose with sakura and a hint of olive. The palate is smooth, with acacia honey, French pear and a sweetness reminiscent of sakura mochi, and the finish is long and rich.
The bottle is presented in a box decorated with a colourful pattern of cherry blossoms and waves, making it a beautiful gift and a collectable piece for Hibiki fans.
Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or in a highball to celebrate the season.
Japanese whisky has earned a worldwide reputation for balance and precision, and limited releases from its historic distilleries are among the most sought-after bottles for collectors.
