Taste note

  • Colour:

    Amber

  • Nose:

    Very floral and with sweet peach, apricot, melon, rose, lily, and lemon leaf.

  • Palate:

    Toffee, ripe plums, black cherry, vanilla, bees wax, and Mizunara (Japanese oak)

  • Finish:

    Sweet, fruity, with lychee aftertaste

  • Conclusion:

    A more complex but still delicate Japanese blend by Suntory. This Hibiki gives you more plums and Mizunara oak bitterness.
