Suntory's annual sakura-cask-finished Hibiki, released to coincide with Japan's cherry-blossom season. Malt whisky from Yamazaki and Hakushu, grain from Chita, finished for a short period in rare Japanese sakura (cherry) wood casks.

The result reads as recognisably Hibiki, with an added floral top note that only sakura wood produces.

dekanta sources rare and discontinued Japanese whisky directly in Japan. We record the condition of every bottle before it is listed — on this one, the label is good, the original box is present, and the fill sits at a good shoulder level. Want more detail before you buy?
