Tasting Notes
Complex aromas of dried fruits, toffee, vanilla, plum, and a hint of smoky incense.
Rich and smooth with layers of dark honey, marmalade, beeswax, dark chocolate, and Mizunara oak spice.
Very long with elegant oak, dried fruit, and a gentle smokiness.
What People Are Saying
Highly respected in the community as one of the best Hibiki expressions. Reddit reviewers who have tried it describe it as significantly better than Harmony, with more depth and complexity. The discontinuation and extreme rarity have made it a grail bottle. Those lucky enough to have tasted it often rank it among their all time favorites. Prices have climbed to $400+ making it increasingly out of reach for most enthusiasts.
