Hibiki Blended Japanese Whisky (50cl) 12 Year Old
Out of stock
This could quite possibly be the finest blended Whisky ever created. Comprising of single malts from Hakushu and Yamazaki along with aged grain from the Chita distillery this blend has won many awards over the years. To complete the package it is provided in what we think is one of the classiest bottles on the market.
Featured in Ian Buxton's 101 legendary whiskies you're dying to try but (possibly) never will book.
The Plum wine liqueur casks that the 12 year old is partially matured in give this super moreish Japanese blend a real fruity edge.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery undertones and a honey-gold glow, rich and inviting, like sunset over lacquered wood.
Nose
Ripe plums mingle with new leather, dark chocolate, rich barley and aromatic biscuity grain, finishing with honeycomb.
Palate
Rich toffee and aromatic spices lead the palate, with stewed plums, marzipan and sherry-soaked orange segments lending a luscious, fruity depth. A silky mouthfeel and measured warmth echo through a lingering, well-balanced finish.
Finish
A dessert-like finish of rum and raisin fudge, spiced vanilla cheesecake, and plum jam on French toast.
