Suntory Hibiki 17 years old Japanese Blended Whisky

Hibiki is Suntorys' flagship blended whisky. This an award-winning (a gold medal winner in the Japanese section of Whisky Magazine's Best of the Best 2005) premium blend.
" Nose: Ripe soft and pillow like with hints of smoke and toasty wood. Citrus leaf, cocoa, cooked apricot, ripe banana, hazelnut giving a crunch. Palate: Toffee sweetness stretches along the palate. Very clean and clear. Sweet with sultana and cherry. The finish is long and silky. Relaxed and laid back. This is excellent blending."
