Hibiki 12 Year Old

(50cl, 43% abv) Introduced in 2009 and discontinued along with most other age-statement Japanese whiskies in late 2015, Hibiki 12 is a blend of malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries.  A very smooth, fruity dram with honey and spice on the nose and palate. Partially matured in Umishu Japanese plum liqueur casks, making this 12 year old a great introduction to whisky, but now getting very hard to find.
