Quoted from Goronic:I can't recommend it yet, but I am looking forward to getting into Japanese whisky. Wanting to try Yamazaki - a single malt, and a malt blend called Hibiki Harmony. Anyone want to chime in on those?
I have been a big fan of Japanese whisky for years. The rest of the world caught on and price went way up as availability plummeted. The Yoichi 15 is my favorite, sadly it is gone. They have released a NAS version of Yoichi and Miyagikyo which I have not opened yet but have read good things. The Hibiki Harmony is same story, a younger blend as the aged whiskies could not keep up with demand. I have a 12 and 17 so I'm good for now. Hakushu 12 is still fairly easy to acquire.
The Aberlour Abunahd is wicked good stuff. Cask strength at about 121 proof, what a sherry bomb, love love it!
