Description

Hibiki 17 Year Old is a world-renowned blended Japanese whisky from Suntory, first released in 1989 to commemorate the company's 90th anniversary. It is crafted from a harmonious blend of malt whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries and grain whisky from Chita distillery, all aged for a minimum of 17 years. The blend matures in a variety of casks, including American white oak, sherry, and rare Japanese Mizunara oak, with some components also aged in Umeshu plum liqueur casks. This iconic expression, known for its balance and complexity, was discontinued around 2018 due to increasing demand and dwindling aged stock, making it a highly sought-after collector's item. The whisky is presented in a distinctive 24-faceted bottle, symbolizing the 24 seasons of Japan's traditional calendar.
