Hibiki 17 Year Old

The seventeen-year-old from Hibiki, Suntory’s luxury blend, became an icon of Japanese whisky before its scarcity made it almost unobtainable. It combines malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu with grain whisky from Chita, some matured in Mizunara oak. It is silky and very elegant, with ripe fruit, honey, oriental spice and fine oak. No noticeable smoke. A collector’s bottle.
