Excellent haha
Great for highball, esp when I can't find Chita
Damn, would have jumped on this if I didn't already spend $85 for a bottle of 20yo Greign last night for a present.
It wasbargain
Was it? I have no idea.. đ
Thanks OP.
Almost out of Hibiki Harmony, and like to have some Japanese whisky on-hand but can't justify the pricing some of the labels command these days solely due to stock shortages.
Have ordered for pick-up tomorrow - good for some upcoming winter getaways :)
This is no hibiki though. I bought it once and my verdict wasânever againâ (unless youâre into cocktails)
Good ish for highballs or cocktails but that's about it. Not so amazing on it's own since it's quite bitter/concentrated tasting without other notes of flavour
Youâre too kind
Unfortunately, options look very limited. Gold reserve for less than $75 looks worth considering.
Don't forget about flybuys offer boost, I got 5x points
Whatâs a good mixer for highball? Bought! Thanks OP
Soda water
How does the taste of this bottle compare to Glenfiddich 12-year-old?
It's a different type of drop. Glenfiddich is peaty whereas this is non-peaty but a bit spicy for a Japanese whiskey.
Appreciate your sharing, considering saving money for a Hibiki as a kick start for Janapnese Whiskey.
Hibiki really not that good unless in a high ball.. has a spicy taste
@zjz93: Thanks for sharing. I'm not into spicy taste so maybe my wallet get saved today;)
@zjz93: I can attest to this. Just picked this up and had a taste. Has a bit of a rocket fuel burn to it. I don't know if they can justify the price point for something that has a bit of a moonshine quality but then I'm not a connoisseur of whisky.
@Steven Reece Lewis: yes i only ever buy hibiki if i was in japan where it is already discounted and i can buy it from tax free store
Glenfiddich 12 would not be one described as peaty. It is a classic example of Speyside. Vanilla and sweet notes throughout.
There are a few Glenfiddich limited releases that have a touch of peat, but it is not used at all in Glen 12.
If you think that has peat then you don't know what peat is. It's extremely smooth, generic honey palette scotch.
Pick up pretty much any bottle of Laphroaig and you'll know what peat is ;)
This has much more subtle flavours as its spent less time in the cask, probably only 3-5 years if I was to guess. This will smell a little more 'shiny' and you will have to try a little harder to pick out the flavours. I'd say its not for beginners if you're having it straight.
I'd describe Glendfiddich as a more generic scotch flavour, the usual honey notes. To me this is a little more interesting and I'd choose this however everyone has different tastes.
I bought a bottle recently. It's more delicate in flavour than similarly priced Scottish whiskies. More floral and sweet, with no peat at all. I quite like it for something a little different.
I bought my single malt deal earlier last week…
Tried this, flavour is very light and weak and was bad for a high ball
Very weak whisky. Not good option
not available at Sydney World Square as always.
lol too many alcoholics in Sydney CBD
Got this for highballs and it wasnât great. The whole time Iâm thinking I should have spend more for Hibiki Harmony. At least you can have it neat, on the rocks or with a mixer.
Price for this deal is pretty good though and itâll still get you drunk.
Why put this in a highball anyway. It's light in flavour and if you're adding soda that dilutes it even more.
Thanks man, always wanted to try a Japanese whisky.
cannot use the code anymore - it said expired.. :(
Still works. Placed an order about 3 hours ago.
I just used it
Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations for a $70 whisky. I found it quite harsh, and as others have said, not much flavour. I had it with a couple of drops of water.
For a $55 whisky, it's okay, I'd go in expecting quality around that price.
I reckon it's fine even at $70 and at $55 very nice. If you like Japanese whisky it's a winner at that price IMO. Found it a very easy drink to enjoy last night. Hehe. Everyone will have a different palate.
Lol the decent $55 whiskies are not $55 anymore, more like $70 for a naked malt. You'll struggle to do better even for $70
Agreed, for the entry level Japanese whisky, you canât go wrong at this price
For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.
