Hibiki, one of the most talked about Japanese whiskies this year, features a blend of Japanese grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. As the new addition to Suntory’s iconic collection, the Hibiki Japanese Harmony (HK$1,080) is housed in a glass bottle with 24 faces, representing each of the seasons of the old Japanese Lunar Calendar. 

Dom Perignon

 DOM PÉRIGNON 2000 P2 CHAMPAGNE

Boasting warm and bitter flavours with smoky grey accents, the exclusive vintage Champagne Dom Perignon P2 (HK$2,700) is the result of 16 years of maturation. Pair it with strong beef stock and parsley ravioli during your festive feasts.
