Description

Hibiki is a Japanese blend launched by the whisky giant Suntory in 1989 to celebrate their 90th anniversary; and it is really something special. The malt and grain comes from Suntory's three distilleries and has gained the status of the ultimate Japanese blend. This specific release, 'Celebrating A New Beginning 2014', was bottled to commemorate the creation of Beam Suntory Inc. in 2014 and was exclusively given to Suntory employees. The general Hibiki 12 Year Old has received a Gold Editor's Choice award from Whisky Magazine and conquered the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards.
