Where to Buy
Tasting Notes
Extremely complex with dried apricot, sandalwood, incense, dark caramel, and old oak.
Velvety smooth with layers of rich fruit cake, Mizunara oak, dark honey, old leather, and bitter chocolate.
Extraordinarily long and evolving, with waves of spice, dried fruit, and Mizunara sandalwood.
What People Are Saying
Regarded as an iconic, bucket list Japanese whisky. Reddit reviewers describe it as "in another league" compared to Hibiki Harmony, with "the palate just standout" and calling it "a haiku rather than a sonnet" for its soft, delicate complexity. However, at $800 to $1000+ in the secondary market, threads asking "is it worth it at $999.99?" generate heated debate. Those who have tried it often say it started their love for whisky. The 24 faceted bottle design (representing the 24 seasons of the Japanese calendar) is universally admired. Extremely difficult to find at retail.
