Distillery: Hibiki Age: 12 Years Old ABV: 43.0% Volume: 70cl Vintage: Non-Vintage Condition: Sealed, unopened Hibiki is the flagship blended whisky from Suntory, one of Japan's most revered whisky producers, first launched in 1989. Representing the pinnacle of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, it draws on exceptional malt whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries and grain whisky from Chita. Hibiki has garnered an international reputation for its exquisite balance, complexity, and elegant presentation, making it a highly sought-after brand among discerning collectors and connoisseurs worldwide. This specific Kacho Fugetsu Limited Edition of the Hibiki 12 Year Old is particularly prized for its artistic bottle design, which embodies the Japanese aesthetic of "Kacho Fugetsu" – the beauty of flowers and birds, and the wonders of nature. The liquid itself is a masterfully blended expression matured for a minimum of 12 years in various cask types, including Mizunara (Japanese oak), American white oak, and sherry casks, showcasing a harmonious symphony of flavours. With the Hibiki 12 Year Old now discontinued, this limited edition bottling is a significant acquisition for any serious collector, combining an exceptional spirit with a rare and beautiful presentation. Tasting Notes: Colour: Amber gold Nose: Rose, lychee, rosemary, mature woodiness, sandalwood, and a hint of sweet citrus. Palate: Honey-like sweetness, candied orange peel, white chocolate, and a delicate touch of spice. Finish: Subtle, long, and tender, with a lingering whisper of Mizunara oak and dried fruit.
