[Review] Hibiki Blender’s Choice

It was released in September 2018 as a successor to Hibiki 17 years. It is said that the average aged 15 years and 1 part of the untied unoridated sake are used for more than 30 years, and wine barrels are used for some unwrage sake. The whisky, aged in wine barrels, produces a mellow and sweet taste even if it is aged for a short period of time, creating a balanced taste.
