2023 is a big year for Suntory, with the founding house of Japanese whisky announcing the release of its long-awaited anniversary editions. This marks the latest centenary whisky release in Suntory’s anniversary celebrations, commemorating a century since founder Shinjiro Torii founded Japan’s first malt whisky distillery in 1923. Originally debuted in 1989 and considered one of the world’s most prestigious whiskies, Torii has now become one of the most popular Japanese blended whiskies. This 100th anniversary whisky of Hibiki is made by selecting a unique blend aged for more than 17 years, adding Yamazaki Mizunara cask malt and Chita grain liquor aged for more than 30 years, with an alcohol content of 43%vol and a capacity of 700ml, adding a sense of maturity and complexity to the gorgeous flavor of Hibiki. With a long aftertaste, its design features the concept of valuing the core of a beautiful lifestyle and culture, which is expressed through the calligraphy "Miwo Musubu" painted on the entire bottle, the traditional handmade Echizen Japanese paper, and the paulownia wood box. Tasting notes—— Nose: Gorgeous, rich, sweet, fresh citrus scent; Taste: Rich fruity aroma, slightly sour; Finish: Beautiful and pleasant, with a long-lasting aftertaste. + Automated bidding bid [Please note that as I have several bottles of this same reference, the hologram number shown in the pictures may be different from the number on the actual bottle you will receive.
