Hibiki 21 years old - Suntory - 700ml

Hibiki 21 Year Old

A masterclass in balance from the expert blending team at Suntory. This harmonious marriage of whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries offers a complex nose of fresh berries and ripe tropical fruits, leading into a palate of apple tart, preserved apricots and aged cigars. The 21-year-old Hibiki offers a wonderful evolution of the style present in the well-loved 12 and 17-year-old expressions. The inclusion of mature whiskies aged in sherry butts and barrels made from rare Japanese oak, brings deep notes of assam tea, sandalwood, walnut wine and incense that are infinitely compelling. This is a dram that any fan of Japanese whisky should experience, a genuine classic.
