Description

A world-renowned Japanese blended whisky, Hibiki 17 Year Old is crafted by Suntory using aged malt and grain whiskies from their Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries. Each component is matured for a minimum of 17 years, often including Japanese Mizunara oak casks, contributing to its complex profile. This expression was launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory's 90th anniversary and is highly sought after by collectors, having been discontinued. This particular bottle is identified as a 1990s bottling.
