Description

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, including American white oak, sherry, and Japanese Mizunara oak. The bottle famously has 24 facets representing the 24 seasons of the Japanese lunar calendar. This 18cl miniature bottle of Hibiki 17 Year Old Japanese blended whisky was discontinued in 2018 due to high demand and dwindling stocks.
