Hibiki Blossom Harmony is a fleeting, floral tribute to the Japanese cherry blossom, a limited release of rare delicacy. Poured neat at Grappa, it brings a moment of springtime elegance to an evening in Queen Anne.
About the Distillery
Hibiki is the prestige blended whisky of the House of Suntory, Japan’s pioneering whisky maker. Each Hibiki is composed from malt and grain whiskies drawn from Suntory’s storied Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries, blended with a precision and artistry that has made the range a benchmark for Japanese whisky. Its pursuit of harmony and craft mirrors the care behind every plate at Grappa.
Style & Region
This is a blended Japanese whisky finished in sakura, or cherry blossom, wood casks, a defining and seasonal touch. That rare finish lends subtle floral tones and a gentle sweetness atop Hibiki’s signature smoothness, creating a delicate, layered character inspired by the blooming of the cherry trees. As a limited release, availability can vary, so it is worth asking whether a pour is open.
Tasting Notes
The nose is fragrant with flowers, cherry blossom and a hint of honeyed osmanthus. The palate is smooth and velvety, with notes of acacia honey, ripe pear and a soft, distinctly Japanese sweetness, leading to a long, refined and gently floral finish.
What to Pair It With
Its floral delicacy is lovely against richness. Enjoy it alongside our Charcuterie Board, where its sweetness balances cured, salty bites, or let it follow our Flourless Chocolate Cake. Browse the full dine-in menu for more.
How It’s Served at Grappa
We pour Hibiki Blossom Harmony neat at $45, so its delicate sakura finish stays front and center. A drop of water gently opens its floral aromatics.
