Brand new Bottle; “Cherry blossom season, bottled. Suntory’s Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo took the classic Hibiki blend — malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita — and finished it in rare Sakura wood casks, a first for the house. The result is delicate and fleeting, like the blossoms themselves: white peach, honey, rose petal, and a whisper of sakura mochi sweetness. Released only once a year, for a moment, this is Japanese whisky at its most poetic.”
