Every episode is fraught with suspense - waiting on the edge of my sofa for Dutch to sacrifice the obligatory long pour on the table to appease the whiskey gods. The rarer the whiskey, the longer the pour...
Dillon, time for you to go to J-school, bro. Bonsai is pronounced, "bone-sigh." Shaking my head...
Jules, you get a pass only because I know you have a rice cooker and a karaoke machine. Props for keeping my relatives in business - domo arigato (please translate that to Dillon for the love of whiskey). 😉
Hahah. Preach!!
@@nikkayamazaki Dillon-chan needs all the Nihongo guidance he can get... 😁
Awesome summary, Mark! hahah.
@@rangeradams Aren't we lucky to have fellow imbibing ball-busters who sort out the good from the meh for us?
This is my daily. Think I’ll pour myself a glass while I watch this.
Still laughing at the anime store photo. Great review guys!
The abrupt finish is actually very interesting to me. The hibiki disappears all of the sudden - but leaves a smooth after taste which is a nice trinking experience. Surprisingly soft and subtle, but not boring at all.
Nikka Coffey is pretty good and it’s around that price.
Love seeing you guys back in action! Appreciate how the new reviews cover all sorts of spirits.
One piece of constructive criticism: we'd love to see each of your individual score breakdowns across all catergoeies before you average them out- similar to how it was all displayed at once towards the ends of Bourbon Guild episodes.
Keep it up guys!
LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
🤩🤩
I bought it in Aug 2020 for $60 at Costco, and the price has more than doubled since then.
I found you guys lol. Didn't know you relocated thx God lol. Now continue sipping on Maker's Mark 2020 limited release
Nice show, thx. I have one bottle of Japanese Whiskey called Nikka Rare Old Super. Funny looking bottle I bought a couple of years ago.
But I don't think I ever considered opening it, I don't know why, maybe cause its just 43% and I read it is smooth and balanced ... BORING ;)
Audio sounds alright through headphones, sounds odd through my phone speakers compared to your other videos
Thanks for the video, folks. At the moment in Australia, a bottle like this one sells for around AUD200, which is roughly 150 USD. If that isn't absolutely mental, I don't know what is. And guess who just bought one ?
Nice review fellas! Any chance of a guest appearance by the “Running Man”? Also, bring back the Philippinas 🤓
I'd like to give this a shot. Too bad I can't find it for under $100 in my area
Hibiki is good. But 1/4 of its cost was on that beautiful bottle and another 1/4 came from the Japanese whiskies hype. Now, if you guys get to try Nikka FTB, that is one great bottle of whisky.
I’m surprised Jules didn’t say 🍣 SUSHI!!! Lol
It's always interesting to taste Scotch whisky! Even if is a blend that tou can buy for 5€ a litter. Japanese design bottle is the only thing genuine.
I am lost. What happened to bourbon guild. Must have missed that
My pallet is 100% Dillon!
I’m Surprised Jules didn’t say 🍣 SUSHI!! Lol
This is one of my favorite other than niki.... :))
Nice one! Try blind tasting this with Grants Family Reserve and Famous grouse Smoky Black pls thx 👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🥃🥃🥃🎄☃️🏖️💕
Another great video and review fellas. Being Japanese Amererican I think no one loves asian stereotypes used in humor more than other Asian Americians.
The gong sound effect should make both Mr. Miyagi and Hattori Hanzo cringe...most disharmonious!
Second that...
Nice to see things haven’t changed Dutch, you still can’t pour, 😂
Who is the Habanos smoker and why not do a video here or there with them ? Are the Habanos cigar boxes just for show ?
Their Dalmore Cigar Malt episode imply they are fans of the cuban (especially in the post credits )
74+71+67=212/3=70.667 rounded 71 ???
We round down. That's what makes it the hardest spirits competition! Cheers!

this is not like the 12 at all and not trying to be. They finished 12 in Umeshu plum wine cask. it was never intended to be like the 12. all the whisky in Harmony are at least 10 years old but a much different blend than the 12. I wish people would stop comparing them. Every Hibiki is very different in their blends.
The only common thing throughout their entire line is that they're all overrated. Not worth the secondary, for sure. Barely worth the MSRP when you compare comparable dram coming out of Taiwan, Scotland, and even *gasp* India.
@@rangeradams I agree and Japanese whisky in general is way over priced for what it is. I can get stuff out of Scotland at same price that is so much better. Bourbon prices have got out of hand as well.
Hi guys or anyone,,,, what happen To Ben??????
Dylan, disagree with you on the finish, you want a long finish when sipping a whisky end of the day, but Japanese whisky is made to go with food & I personally don’t want a long finish when eating Sushi.
To me, Hibiki, as it stands now, is like the Johnnie Walker Black level. You can sip it but you can mix it too.
Dude, i just paid a bottle $99+tax just now. When was it $55-65? I missed out i guess
Just paid $80 for it. Feel like $80-100 is the norm. I also had a WTF moment when they said $55-65.
I really like your videos! However, I want to point out that I think it is not very accurate to say "...peat that you normally smell in scotches..." (Dillon 5:59). I believe Dillon probably knows this, but only a MINORITY of scotches has peat in them, most of them have not. So just for clarity and to reduce misconceptions about scotch I think it is important to point this out. But perhaps Dillon actually meant that many people ASSOCIATE peat with scotches (ironically based on statements like the one Dillon made here).
Another giggle party. Not professional nor informative.
