Description

This is the popular Hibiki 12-year-old blend from Suntory. This label design was used between 2010 and 2015 when the age statement was discontinued from the range. A blend of over ten malts and grains, first released by Suntory in 1989. The recipe features whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita, all aged in five types of cask. The bottle famously always has 24 facets representing the 24 seasons of the Japanese lunar calendar [cite: 'Whisky Auctioneer', 5, 9]. The Hibiki 12 Year Old was discontinued in 2015 due to stock constraints.
