Suntory's Hibiki is simply amazing. It doesn't matter if it is the mythical 21 year old or any of their NAS releases. If you ever have a Hibiki, you will most definitively enjoy it. Having said that, i got my hands on a Hobiki Blossom 2021 expression, a 43%abv blended whisky, that was only intended for the japanese market, and obviously the price of it just EXPLODED. It has been finished in Sakura Barrels, a type of cherry blossom tree. On the nose it is outstanding. Pineapple; a Hibiki typical sawdust mixed with hay/metallic note. Pavlova dessert, peach and tropical fruits over vanilla cream. Peach halves in syrup. After a first sip, the aroma changed into this incredible fruit punch and cranberries. A floral field. It is an incredible aroma although a little dim. Grapefruit. On the palate it is so enjoyable that it can be described as almost perfect. Tangerine and pineapple. Some woody character. Salt. Crazy good. The second sip was all about impalpable sugar over a pineapple. White wine.  A sugary water note also present. Aftertaste is salty, with a "crazy dips" feeling. Acidity.  Impalpable sugar, gooseberries, acid fruits. Lovely, ghostly long. Overall, this is magnificent. It is almost unbelievable that blended whiskies can be THIS good. Full of flavor, lovely notes, everything perfectly crafted, long finish; just wonderful. My score for it is 95 over 100, and i might have been a little harsh on the score here.
