The Hibiki is a blended whisky and part of Suntory's storied whisky portfolio. Consisting of malt distillates from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries as well as grain distillate from the Chita distillery, the Hibiki is one of Japan's most awarded blended whiskies and one of the most collectible, considering the intricate and beautiful designs of various limited editions of its distinctive bottle.
This limited edition of the Hibiki 17 Year Old was released in 2016 in very small numbers (less than 1000). The design theme of this bottling, “Kacho Fugetsu” (Kanji for Flowers, Birds, Breeze, and Lunar phases), embodies the beauty of Japanese nature. The 24 facets of the bottle symbolize the ancient tradition of “Sekki” – the age-old Japanese lunar calendar. Kacho Fugetsu is the Japanese. All symbols are in the traditional Maki-e patterns - symbolising felicitations, wishing happiness and the best of fortunes. This bottle is a cherished colleactors' item!
