Hibiki 17 Year

Nose: honey, pear, floral, brown sugar Palate: chocolate, poached pear. Light salinity. Floral. Light baking spice. Mild pepper. Finish: oak, i think im getting mizunara here. Light barrel char/smoke

A little fruit up front, just a hint of oak part way through, finish very light with some vanilla.

After some test bottles with customers after meeting.. they're getting serious and opened this one (only thing I relief is I didn't pay 😆) For $1,300.. I did expect a lot but.. 🥃: Still Whisky.. but yes, a lot better than Scotch or Irish, for me, its smooth was nice and finish was good, but not much complex and its sweet and fruity, with lychee, orange and honey made me feel a bit weird.. I can't say why. I'm not for Whisky at all cost 😅😅

Smooth vanilla fruity. Stunning caramel taste. Wish I had $1k to burn.
