Hinotori 5 Year Old Blended Japanese Whisky

Tasting Notes

Hinotori 5 Year Old, a blended Japanese whisky from Hekinan Distillery (via BBC Spirits), offers a creamy, fruity introduction to the category. Don't be fooled by the quirky, oak-forward nose; it mellows into a balanced blend of orchard fruits and vanilla. The palate delivers medium body, sweetness, hints of salted caramel, and developing spices. The medium-long finish brings subtle chocolate, gingerbread, and a touch of nuttiness. Non-chill filtered and bottled at 43%, this well-made whisky offers character and easy enjoyment.
