Hibiki Harmony Japanese Harmony Master's Select

Time to try this travel exclusive before I get to the Hibiki 12! 🥃 This is a blended whisky, 43% ABV. It is drawn from 5 different casks and selected by the Suntory Whisky blending team and released on the travel market 🥃 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 NOSE • Nose offers notes of raisins and otherwise general fresh fruits. I'd also describe it as floral with some lighter notes. Rather faint. Also let it breathe for a bit. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 PALATE • I found the palate rather delightful with fresh fruits swirling on the tongue, notes of orange. Rather tropical! I picked up some banana and then the oak. Palate has a gentle burn. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 FINISH • The finish had spice notes for me, mainly pepper with a hint of vanilla. Finish is friendly and short. 🌕🌕🌕🌖🌑 OVERALL • Overall I enjoyed this more than the "regular" Japanese Harmony. Especially the fresh fruit palate. A pleasant blend. I wish the finish was as fruity and fuller like the palate which would take it to new heights. We'll see what the Hibiki 12 has to offer! 🥃

Semi sweet aroma. Smooth consistent feel. Focused on tongue, no spice but heat at finish.
