For my birthday this coming weekend I went and sat myself down in front of the display case last night. I went in planning to pick an Oban, but once I read the label that the new Hibiki 12 spent some time in barrels that previously help plum wine, I was hooked. I asked a few store clerks, their eyes just kinda glazed over. I finally picked the bottle and went to the cashier who had high praises for it.
Quite smooth, with a bit of the peat I enjoy, but just that subtle hint of sweet plum wine (maybe it's all in my head) made this a nice choice. My first non-Scotland Scotch purchase.
