suntory hibiki blossom harmony 2022 whiskey

The first of these is the second installment of the Hibiki Blossom Harmony.

Over the years, Hibiki has picked up a plethora of awards at international spirits competitions around the world, even winning the most prestigious accolades on a number of occasions. The expressions are some of the smoothest you’ll find on the market today and the aromas and flavors inside each bottle work together in a harmonious fashion to create a drinking experience that is not easily forgotten. 

The Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2021 brought more of the same well-balanced, perfectly crafted whisky, but with a twist – the blenders at Suntory gave Hibiki liquid a Sakura cask finish, allowing us to explore their fine craftsmanship from a completely new angle. 

For the new 2022 release, they have taken the same approach and, as expected, it’s smooth, gentle, and moreish, with the light fruits and creaminess of Hibiki whisky merging seamlessly with the gentle floral tones and light spices imparted by the Sakura cask. The end result is a unique, memorable drinking experience and a whisky that is well worth telling your friends about. 

This limited-edition Japanese whisky was crafted by Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo. The blend of malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries was finished in sakura (Japanese cherry) casks, imparting a harmonious spirit with gentle floral and spicy notes.
