Ну, Suntory 21 сливает Nikka 20 'Yoichi' по полной:

Suntory 21 yo 'Hibiki' (43%, OB, +/-2011)
Three stars and a half Some recent versions of the 17yo (WF 82) and, above all, 30yo (WF 91) have been much to my liking.
Colour: full gold.
Nose: starts rather grassy and herbal, with touches of sugarcane and humidor, then more sandalwood and incense. It’s rather less smooth and silky than expected and keeps developing on more herbal notes and even a little artisan cider. Quite some white pepper too and then more leather and ginger. Quite a lot happening in this one.
Mouth: typically un-Scotch, so to speak, with these notes of mint and eucalyptus tea on top of some apple peelings, cider apples (there’s a sourness) and dry spices. Then more cardamom and white pepper plus overripe peaches. Fried zucchini flowers.
Finish: medium long, with more sour notes. Pleasantly sour notes (white wine?) Dry spices again in the aftertaste as well a something slightly metallic. Black pepper. Comments: perhaps it lacks a little definition but of course, it’s excellent whisky.
