An Introduction to Japanese Whisky and its Rich History | Tastings | BetterAvecBourbon

Today we’ll be doing a tasting of two storied brands of Japanese Whisky, the first being Suntory with their Hibiki Japanese Harmony. Hibiki, which translates to “resonance,” launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory’s 90th anniversary. The other Japanese whisky we’ll be tasting is the Nikka Miyagikyo. 00:00 Introduction to Japanese Whisky 00:56 Suntory Hibiki Japanese Harmony Background 02:03 Suntory Hibiki Aroma & Aesthetics 02:30 Nikka Miyagikyo Background 03:33 Nikka Miyagikyo Aroma & Aesthetics 04:25 Tastings 05:38 Final Thoughts Sources: https://house.suntory.com/hibiki-whisky https://house.suntory.com/heritage https://www.sandylaneliquor.ca/produc... https://www.nikka.com/eng/brands/sing... https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/3... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masatak... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikka_W... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanes...
