Japanese whiskey maker House of Suntory has unveiled The Hibiki Japanese Harmony, a new limited-edition whiskey that arrives just in time for holiday gifting.
The perfect gift for an artistically-inclined whiskey lover, the Hibiki Japanese Harmony comes in a specialty-designed bottled dressed with painted flowers and flowing streams of water, which intend to represent Japan's twenty-four seasons. This ornately decorated bottle embraces the brand's Japanese heritage and offers shoppers a striking, one-of-a-kind design that will enhance any spirit collection.
The whiskey itself is a blend of malt and grain whiskies from the House of Suntory Whisky’s Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries. This carefully crafted combination conjures a uniquely sophisticated flavor profile with tasting notes of rose, lychee, rosemary, and sandalwood on the nose. At the same time, the palate presents flavors of honey, orange peel, and white chocolate.
