Suntory Whisky The Chita 0,7L 43%

Hibiki Suntory Whisky Japanese Harmony 0.7L 43% History and production of the Hibiki Japanese Harmony: Japanese whiskies are undeniably trendy. The gentle character in combination with the fresh, fruity bouquet and the mild taste always inspires enthusiasm. And that applies to long-time connoisseurs and beginners alike. The Japanese whisky makers are known for their meticulousness, hard work and sense of tradition. This gives them a veritable reputation. The true skill, however, manifests itself in the incomparable blending art of the Japanese. In no other country in the world are such balanced and extremely harmonious whiskies created by mixing different individual distillates. The Hibiki Japanese Harmony falls into exactly that category, which is not surprising when you consider the name. For production, the company's own grain and single malt whiskies are combined in an elegant way. The Hibiki Japanese Harmony is therefore a perfect introduction to Japanese whisky culture. The constant striving for perfection for the Japanese whisky masters goes far beyond the actual production of the whisky. Therefore, the Hibiki Japanese Harmony is presented in a glass bottle designed with great attention to detail. The 24 finely ground facets on the outside symbolize the seasons of the lunar calendar and the label is made of handmade Echizen paper. This visually underlines the magnificent taste and the external appearance corresponds to the high-quality contents. Taste of the Hibiki Japanese Harmony: The Hibiki Japanese Harmony flows into the glass highly viscous and elegant. 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. The Hibiki Japanese Harmony lives up to its name and is a perfect example of the elegance and complexity of Japanese blended whiskies.

Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky 0.7L 40% The history of Suntory The Japanese company Suntory is one of the five largest spirits companies in the world and can look back on an impressive history. Suntory was founded in 1899 by Shinjirō Torii, who was just 20 years old at the time and opened a shop under the name Torii Shoten. While Shinjirō Torii initially concentrated on importing and selling Spanish wines, a few years later he decided to create his own single malt whisky. In 1923 he hired the young and talented chemist Masataka Taketsuru, who had studied in Scotland, and together with him opened the country's first distillery in the Yamazaki Valley. At about the same time, the name "Suntory" was first mentioned as a brand name, which refers to the Japanese national symbol of the rising sun. In 1937, the Kakubin Blend was finally launched for the first time, and has long been the No. 1 blended whisky in Japan. The road to market leadership was rocky, however, and only succeeded in the 1950s/60s when Suntory attracted attention with innovative marketing campaigns. The taste of the Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky Kakubin - which translates as "square bottle" - is bottled in various qualities, with the "White Label" offered here being considered somewhat drier and lighter than the better-known "Yellow Label" variant. The Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky is matured in ex-bourbon whiskey casks. On the nose, the Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky shows fine notes of caramel, freshly baked bread and caramel. Malty aromas and nuances of cinnamon and the spice of oak are revealed on the palate. The finish is medium-long and delicately sweet and slightly fruity. As a fine example of a light Japanese blend, the Suntory Kakubin White Label Whisky is ideal for drinking neat or as an ingredient in cocktails, long drinks and highballs.

Suntory Kakubin Yellow Label Whisky 0.7L 40% The history of Suntory If you list the largest spirits companies in the world, you can't ignore the Japanese company Suntory. Suntory's portfolio includes renowned brands such as the Scottish single malt distillery Bowmore and it can look back on a long history, which we would like to briefly tell you about. The foundation stone for today's Suntory Group was laid by Shinjirō Torii, who was only 20 years old at the time and opened a shop under the name Torii Shoten in 1899. Shinjirō Torii initially concentrated on importing and selling Spanish wines and brought a type of port wine onto the market under the name "Akadama". A few years later, he had an idea in his head that never left him: producing his own whisky! For this reason, in 1923 he hired the young and very talented chemist Masataka Taketsure, who had studied in Scotland and had already gained experience in distilleries. Together they opened Japan's first distillery in the Yamazaki Valley and almost simultaneously introduced the brand name "Suntory", which refers to the Japanese national symbol of the rising sun. The Kakubin Blend was finally introduced in 1937 and has long been considered the best known and best-selling Japanese blended whisky on the market.

On the palate, the Suntory Kakubin Yellow Label whisky is very complex with notes of freshly baked bread, tobacco and again vanilla. The aftertaste is medium-length and pleasantly smooth. Ideal for cocktails and long drinks!
