Hibiki, meaning \"resonance,\" was first introduced in 1989 to commemorate Suntory's 90th anniversary and has since become one of the most celebrated blended whisky names in the world. For this release, Suntory's blenders explored the Hibiki style from an entirely new angle, marrying it with whisky finished in Sakura, Japanese cherry blossom, casks for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2021 Is Made\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis blend brings together malt and grain whiskies from Suntory's Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries, built on the same Hibiki Japanese Harmony foundation, then finished in Sakura wood casks. That Sakura influence layers in delicate floral character and light spice that traditional Hibiki casks don't produce, a genuine departure for the brand's craftsmanship. It's bottled at 43% ABV in a specially designed bottle honoring the Ryusui-Hyakka motif, One Hundred Flowers and Flowing Water, reflecting the passage of Japan's twenty-four seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft floral notes reminiscent of blossoms in full bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth mouthfeel and expanding fragrance, with acacia honey, French pear, and a refined sweetness suggestive of sakura mochi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-lasting, rich, and brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe honey and pear character in Hibiki Blossom Harmony pairs beautifully with a light fruit tart, mochi, or a delicate almond cake.
