The House of Suntory - Hibiki x The Worlds #2 Steakhouse Margret by Neil Perry.

Mr Gumbatron undertakes the annual pilgrimage for an exceptional evening of Japanese artistry inspired by nature with Suntory. Surrounded by brand ambassadors, partners, media and whiskey connoisseurs alike.

A tasting menu by @chefneilperry paired exceptionally with 3 expressions from Suntory including the Hibiki 30yrs, 21yrs and Hibiki Harmony as well as 3 specially prepared cocktails. Tucked away in one of Sydney’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, the dinner was hosted at the acclaimed @margaretdoublebay (Ranked No. #2 steakhouse in the world and #1 in Australia).

Beyond the amazing 4 course dinner and countless highballs the true highlight of the evening was the Hibiki whisky tasting guided by The House of Suntory’s Chief Blender, Shinji Fukuyo.

What does a $75,000 bottle of Japanese Whisky taste like? Introducing the Hibiki 40years.

There are few events that I would jump on a 9 hour flight across the world to attend. But to taste of the oldest Blended Whisky by Suntory; The Hibiki 40yrs, the upper echelon of luxury whiskies, this was an undivided exception.
