Why we stock it

Bottled at 51.4% in a squat 500mL bottle that looks like nothing else on the shelf. It is a blend of malt and grain, married in casks before bottling, and it punches far above what the price suggests.

We stock it because it is the Japanese whisky we recommend most often, and because the strength means it holds up in a highball instead of disappearing.

Delivery Sydney metro. Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm.

A blend of malt and grain whiskies from Nikka's two distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo, married in casks after blending and bottled at higher strength than most blends. The squat rectangular bottle is as recognisable as the whisky.

Concentrated and well-built — dried fruit, spice, toffee and a faint trace of smoke from the Yoichi component, with real weight on the palate. Widely held to be one of the best-value Japanese whiskies made.

    Hibiki Japanese Harmony 700ml

    We stock it because it is the bottle we hand anyone who says they do not like whisky. Soft, lightly floral, with no smoke and no heat to argue with. The 24-faceted decanter does not hurt when it is going to someone as a gift.

  • Hakushu, Yamanashi · Japan

    Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

    Hakushu is Suntory's forest distillery, and the 12 is the green one - cut grass, cucumber, a whisper of smoke that arrives late and leaves quickly. It is the malt people reach for when they want something lighter than a Speyside without giving up complexity. We keep it alongside the Yamazaki because the two together show how far one company's house style can stretch.
