  Very smooth, just the blend of honey, vanilla and fruit.

  I have been drinking whisky for many decades and while not an expert I have a fair experience of some of the higher cost versions of both Irish and Scottish malts. I was pleased with the spiciness, a bit alarmed at the sweetness and disappointed by the thinness of Hibiki Harmony on the palate.

  Very smooth. Sweet vanilla to the nose. Very distinctive taste compared with American rye whisky, mild but lasting.

  Sweet citrus which gives way to spice and oak. A touch of water almost erases the citrus, making it sharp and spicy. Recommend neat or in a Japanese Highball.

  exactly what Luke says: "Thin, sweet and strongly floral. Smooth in aftertaste. Too sharp up front for me." love the finish, but up front it is rather sharp.

  The best I tried, citrus flavor with a long finish in taste, did not expect this in a Japanese whisky

  One of my favorite whiskys. Excellent balance. The nose is my favorite out of any pour I've experienced so far. The scent of dried fruit and baking spices takes the forefront, then spreading out to make room for the introduction of extremely light smoke and that buttery note that is so classic in Suntory products, with a nice floral character rounding it all off. The palate matches nicely as well, apricots in abundance, circled by those wintery spices, and the subtle warmth of black pepper and mizunara oak. The finish focuses mainly on those wood and pepper notes without becoming overbearing whatsoever during the course of it's medium length. In conclusion. A fantastic whisky thats rich with i teresting character and a lot of nuance. Though a bit overpriced given the recent boom within the japanese whisky industry. Which brings it down to a 4.5 for me but I'll still give it 5 stars because we can't use decinals here.

  I have been drinking whiskey for 34 years and after trying Hibiki I feel like I was scammed by the marketing. It's thin, it's floral, it's a blend of nasty. Sorry folks but this can't hold a candle to any number of good blends.

  I purchased hibiki harmony on a whim. As a musician, I can say that harmony is an apt descriptor. There is no dissonance here. As other reviewers have mentioned, it’s light, but not because it lacks substance. It’s light because everything is in balance. The subtle sense that all of the harsh flavor profiles that can exist within a whiskey are present but in a proportion that cancels... that’s the predominant aesthetic. Precariously sweet, subtle and warm without being syrupy. Curious... blindness in direct opposition to emptiness. .125hz from in tune. Pleasantly pensive.

  A little soft and light for me. A well-made whisky, sweet and light, but I would prefer a little more substance

  A gift and what a joy - sip with a bite of Montezuma’s Absolutely Black 100% Cocoa chocolate
