Suntory's Hibiki brand stands as a testament to the pioneering spirit of Japanese whisky, originating from the vision of Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Japanese whisky. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Hibiki blends whiskies from Suntory's Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries, embodying the art of harmony. It has garnered global acclaim for its complexity and balance, establishing a reputation as one of the world's most prestigious blended whiskies, highly sought after by connoisseurs and collectors alike.
The Hibiki 17 Year Old Kacho Fugetsu Limited Edition represents a pinnacle of collectibility, building upon the already legendary status of the now-discontinued 17 Year Old expression. This special release is adorned with a stunning design inspired by 'Kacho Fugetsu,' the traditional Japanese appreciation of the beauty of nature, featuring motifs of flowers, birds, wind, and moon. Such artistic presentation elevates the bottle beyond a mere spirit, transforming it into a cherished piece of art. Its rarity and the exceptional quality of the liquid inside make it a highly coveted item for serious collectors of Japanese whisky.

Colour: Amber gold
Nose: Rose, lychee, rosemary, mature woodiness, sandalwood
Palate: Honey-like sweetness, candied orange peel, white chocolate, light spice
