Hibiki, meaning \"resonance\" in Japanese, embodies the brand's philosophy of living in harmony with nature and people, and this release carries that idea forward with a design created to wish happiness and health upon everyone who shares a glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2023 Is Made\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis blend brings together a wide variety of malt and grain whiskies aged across Japan's four seasons, drawn from Suntory's Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries, then finished with a rare selection further rested in Sakura, Japanese cherry blossom, wood casks. Suntory's blenders have described achieving the right balance as a genuine challenge, since Sakura cask character is strong enough to easily overpower a blend, and it took careful trial and error to find grain whiskies that let the Sakura influence unfold gradually rather than dominate. It's bottled at 43% ABV, with packaging that reflects the season through a traditional Japanese pattern and cherry blossom motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aromatic floral notes, cherry blossom, and goldenrod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A round mouthfeel, spacious on the palate, with elegant sweetness suggestive of acacia honey, French pear, and sakura mochi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe acacia honey and pear character in Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2023 pairs beautifully with sakura mochi, a light fruit tart, or a delicate almond cake.
