It's probably not deserving of the '3' stars I gave it...it's really not bad, quite good actually...creamy, full bodied, and a bit floral. But, after having their Hibiki 12 and 17, this one is quite not to that level. I'm sure they have a tiny bit of their 21 in here, along with 17, 12, and majority of it younger than 12. For the price, not sure I'd buy this again...but then again, Japanese whiskeys have skyrocketed in price, and some aren't even available anymore (Yamazaki 18?). So...I guess this will have to do. Oh wait...maybe for the price, I can get better quality in another country...plenty of good American bourbons, Indian Amruts and, of course, Scottish ones available (Benromach easily comes to mind).
