Hibiki 17

Hibiki

A modern Japanese whisky legend, and increasingly hard to find. Hibiki 17 was one of the bottles that put Japanese whisky on the world stage, before Suntory paused production of its aged Hibiki blends because stocks of mature whisky ran low.<br> <br> It blends long-aged malt and grain whiskies from Suntory's distilleries, including spirit aged in Japanese Mizunara oak. The result is rich, deep and elegant, with dried fruit, honey and the incense-like spice that Mizunara is prized for. The 24-faceted bottle represents the 24 seasons of the traditional Japanese calendar.<br> <br> Who it's for: Japanese whisky collectors and anyone looking for a true modern classic.<br> <br> How to enjoy it: Neat, slowly, in a good glass.
