This is one of the few affordable Japanese whiskies left on the market at around $65-70, although the cost of its availability and affordability is the lack of an age statement. Formerly, the renowned Hibiki line featured age-stated malts, including a 12-year old and the legendary 21-year old (which I'll review later this month thanks to @PBMichiganWolverine!). I loved the floral nose of this dram, which immediately strikes me as feminine and lovely. Hibiki's closest analog in the scotch world may be Balblair, with which it shares pronounced scents of vanilla cream and oak. Harmony has a mellow, classic Japanese whiskey taste, and the influence from the Yamazaki single malt blended in here is prominent. I taste rose, honey, cream (again, similar to Balblair), and a very delicate sherry note. That sherry flavor and influence grew over time as the dram was exposed to the air, which was an interesting transformation. Given the lightness and fragile beauty of the flavors, I believe that 43% ABV actually is the right, light ABV for this dram -- and that's something I rarely say of whiskey. The finish features toasted oak spices, malt, and tobacco, and is relatively short, which is Harmony's most obvious flaw.
