Sitting the other evening with a few friends listening to music, and a number of malts are served after dinner. The usual suspects which all are good, steady malts and we all enjoy.
Then there is one that gets everyones attention. One that rises above and surprises us all with a complex taste, depth and balance that is unrivalled among it's competitors.
It's 12 years old, it's a blended whisky and it's japanese.
Hibiki 12yo. Try it and discover why you always will want to taste something from the land of the rising sun from now on.
Funnily enough, we had a tasting a year back or so with only japanese malts, including some really exclusive ones, and the result from that was "ok". Good but far from fantastic. Throw one or two japanese malts in with a bunch of scots however, and they will steal the show. Every time.
This phenomenon was confirmed by Micke Nilsson, whisky-man-extraordinaire at Stockholm bar Akkurat. Anyone got any theories to how and why it is so? Let me know.
