Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2022 43% 70cl

Product Information

This triple-distilled blend of single grain and single malt Irish whiskeys is the flagship expression from Sláinte, the drinks company co-founded by Richard Davies and actor/director Liev Schreiber. While Scotland has strict laws dictating the type of oak used in their whisky, Japan’s rules are much looser. This has encouraged distillers to play native wood like mizunara and sakura. Under its Chita brand, Suntory has a grain whiskey matured in sakura casks for three years. Kurayoshi Distillery, Mars Shinshu, and Nagahama Distillery also have similarly-styled whiskies.

This is the third Basil Hayden line extension since August of 2021, following the release of Toastand Subtle Smoke. Beam just celebrated the 30 th anniversary of its small batch line, which includes Basil Hayden, Booker's, Baker's, and Knob Creek, and was created by 6 th-generation master distiller Booker Noe. Now his grandson is leading innovation at Beam, with Freddie at the helm of the new Fred B. Noe Distillery in Clermont. The one aims to appeal to wine drinkers and whiskey lovers alike.

By adding a finishing stage in casks made from one of Japan’s national flowers, Suntory brings the representation of the Sakura trees to whisky. Beautiful and layered on the nose, it invites you in to it’s bouquet, giving you a different experience but one that is welcome. The finish stays with you, leaving you wanting even more with each sip. The wood adds a beautiful elegance to the product, yet also reminds us of the beauty of what nature offers, and the many hours that the craftsmen poured into making such an excellent product. Gordon & MacPhail has a deep inventory of rare whiskies laid down by previous generations of the Urquhart family. These liquid treasures all come from demolished distilleries; St. Magdalene/Linlithgow and Glen Mhor distilleries closed in 1983, and Lochside Distillery stopped production in 1992. The Private Collection label indicates whiskies selected by members of the Urquhart family, the fourth generation to own and run the 125 year old business, and each expression has been matured from the beginning under the stewardship of Gordon & MacPhail in its own casks. The St. Magdalene was matured in a refill American oak hogshead, and the Glen Mhor and Lochside come from refill sherry hogsheads. Beyond these three bottlings coming to the U.S., Gordon & MacPhail will also release bottlings from Pittyvaich, Inverleven, Convalmore, Imperial, and Banff in select international markets as part of the Recollection Series.

BUSINESS PORTAL

I have been mesmerized by the Sakura cask for the last five years now due to its symbolism, but also because of its distinctive, subtly floral and spicy aroma and flavor notes," says Fukuyo. "There have been many experiments with malt and grain whisky components, and we found that there was a special alchemy between the grain whiskies and the Sakura cask. It is this special relationship – harmony – that inspired me to create this blend." Hibiki Blossom Harmony is a series of non-age statement blends from The House of Suntory. Each release in the series is limited to a certain number of bottles, and the whisky itself consists of blends of Chita, Yamazaki, and Hakshu distilleries. The true beauty of this series though, is the bottle. It’s a luxurious piece of glassware that would make for a fantastic infinity bottle. The boxes too are gorgeous, with some of the best artwork you’ll see for whisky out there. This isn’t reflected in the price though, making every entry in this brand a steal if you can get your hands on it. Every edition of Hibiki Blossom Harmony ever released The night finished with a dram and a review of the Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2022, which, no surprises, was an unusual, yet expertly balanced blend, with sakura influence all the way through, but never overpowering. Bloomin’ delicious. Sorry, we couldn’t resist.
