Suntory Hibiki 17 Years Japan Premium Blended Whisky 43.0% Vol. - rare bottling in old equipment of the multiple award-winning Japanese premium blended whisky from the renowned distilleries of Suntory
The 17 years-old Hibiki Premium Blended Whisky is one of Suntorys flagship blended whiskies - the Hibiki 17 years old is a superb and a fantastic and multi award winning Japanese blend whisky, made with aged malt and grain whiskies from Suntory's three distilleries. Spicy and sophisticated, this is great for catching people out at blind tastings. Recently awarded a Gold Editor's Choice award from Whisky Magazine and picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010. From its launch, Hibiki has been embraced as the paragon of The Art of Japanese Whisky, the very product of Japanese nature and her people. Hibiki is not only Japan's most highly awarded blended whisky, but among the most prestigious and honoured whiskies in the world. Nose: Ripe soft and pillow like with hints of smoke and toasty wood. Citrus leaf, cocoa, cooked apricot, ripe banana, hazelnut giving a crunch. Palate: Toffee sweetness stretches along the palate. Very clean and clear. Sweet with sultana and cherry. The finish is long and silky. Relaxed and laid back. A excellent japanese blended whisky!
Suntory discontinued the production of the Hibiky 17 years and this extraordinary and first-class blended whisky has become one of Japan's most sought-after Whiskies.
