A friend gave me a dram of this Hibiki Harmony so I could try it before considering buying a bottle. I drink bourbon mostly, and I have found that everything else I try (with the exception of rye) tastes like Scotch. This is no different. It's good... It's light on the nose and slightly sweet on the palate, where spice and floral notes prevail. Again, this tastes like Scotch... like a less complex McCallan or Glenfiddich. Not bad, not great. I've yet to find a whiskey I like as much as I do bourbon, and I doubt I ever will. But I'm glad I was able to try this without having to buy it.
