Besides, the warm Japanese climate, especially during the summer, enables creating better whisky flavors than in Scotland. Another reason is the people.

Although this particular whisky is molded based on the Scotch traditions, the malt making the Hibiki whisky undergoes double distilling even before transferring it in the wood barrels for aging. This double distilling and warm climate during Japan summer makes its flavors a bit smokey and drier than American sweeter ryes and bourbons.

Which is the best way to enjoy your Hibiki whisky in Singapore?

Apart from the common neat methods, Hibiki Whisky can also enjoy your whisky with mizuwari or warm water. Besides, Singapore’s hot toddy version is also a well-known way of consuming your Hibiki whisky.

What does a Hibiki Whisky highball mean? The Hibiki 12 highball is typically a fizzier type of mizuwari. Here, instead of mixing your whisky with water, you rather mix it with chilled soda or sparkling water in the ratio of 4:1, respectively. You finally add lemon juice or a twist of grapefruit. Remember, the unique whisky blending in Japan is the main skill that makes this whisky so expensive. For instance, much attention and care must be observed to ensure that the right flavors and proportions are maintained by combining the various ingredients and whiskies to make the final original whisky.
