Established in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii, the distillery is a culmination of tradition and modernity, creating spirits that reflect the essence of Japan's culture and nature. Fuji bottlings and the 30th Anniversary - are decorated directly onto the glass, somehow adding to the beauty and making the whiskey within part of the artwork. I have become quite a fan of Japanese whisky (especially those of Nikka) and was looking forward to tasting this offering from Suntory. Smooth and delightful, sure we ended up climbing trees, swimming in winter and blanking out but its well worth the ride.

Seductive, blossoming and enigmatic, Hibiki Whisky celebrates an unrivaled art of blending, fine craftsmanship and a sense of luxury from the House of Suntory. Overall: A good whisky, interesting, but all I'm really left with is "caramel and plum wine" and some mild annoyance at the bitterness.It was an expensive whisky, and a bit out of my league as a beginner,but the nearest I could get was Hibiki 17 years, which I first drunk in the Park Hyatt New York Bar, Tokyo… and it was just as good. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. As the first age-stated Hibiki product, it’s pretty impressive that 17 is the base age (important side note: Japanese whisky laws are notoriously lax around importing and relabeling, but by-and-large the companies otherwise abide in spirit by Scottish laws, meaning a 17-year age statement = the youngest whisky in the blend is at least 17 years old). Bitterness, whilst tolerable, is not beneficial and tends to be overly prominent during tasting and finishing.

Hibiki is a mix of different malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries as well as of grain whisky from the Chita distillery. and looked on some of my favorite on-line sources (Whisky Exchange and Royal Mile) to see what I could find.
