This visually underlines the magnificent taste and the external appearance corresponds to the high-quality contents.

The color is reminiscent of polished amber and shimmers wonderfully in the backlight. Rich aromas of rose petals, lavender, apples, pears, cherries and lychees are interwoven on the nose. In the background, there is also a slightly herbal note with hints of rosemary, thyme and coriander. Spicy oak rounds off the aroma wonderfully elegantly and at the same time provides additional complexity. On the tongue, the Hibiki Japanese Harmony is wonderfully soft and gentle. Delicate notes of honey, vanilla, candied fruit, oranges and dark chocolate come to the fore and are supported by a solid oak base. The finish of the Hibiki Japanese Harmony is comparatively long and full-bodied. The pleasant sweetness remains, and hints of coconut and a great spiciness also appear.
