I wanted to get some thoughts on the Hibiki blended Japanese Harmony. Reviews seems decent enough. My wife is n BC this week and I was going to get her to grab me one as LCBO doesn't carry them. She is also pickng me up a Glengronach 1994 Cask 1051 Sherry Puncheon which I am looking forward to!

Donâ€™t know about Hibiki (Iâ€™m not the greatest fan of Japanese whisky) but Iâ€™ve seen only good reviews for Glendronach PX cask #1051 so far. Enjoy it!

I've got the 12 and it's fantastic, anything like that your on to a winner. You can really taste the pronounced flavour of The Yamazaki in the blend.

I can tell you the Hibiki 12 and 17yr are both fantastic. I am more hesitant of Harmony as it is a no age statement... So likely younger whisky than the 12. I have not tried it though. I expect it will still be decent though!

I had the 12 at a sushi restaurant. It was so close to a Macallan 12 that I wasn't sure if they ran out of Hibiki and actaully just poured my Macallan 12 instead.

I haven't had it again, so I'm not sure if thats what happened or if it really is just close.

Thanks for the replies all, think I'm gonna opt for giving it a try.

My wife sent me a pic of the scotch she's picked me up so far while in BC...I'm looking forward to her return!
