Hibiki 12 Year Old Japanese Whisky 700mL
🥃 An elegant blend crafted from malt whisky from Yamazaki and Hakushu, alongside grain whisky from Chita, Hibiki 12 Year Old is a quintessential Japanese whisky experience. Partly aged in plum liqueur barrels, this whisky captures the essence of Japanese craftsmanship.
Produced by Suntory, this whisky is a collector's dream. The design of the bottle, symbolising the 24 seasons of the Japanese lunar calendar, adds to its allure. Discontinued in 2019, it stands as a rare and enchanting item.
The profile is refined, with balanced notes of honey, citrus, orchard fruit, and gentle spice, leading to a smooth, elegant finish. It embodies a harmonious complexity without overwhelming the senses.
With an ABV of 43%, it balances approachability with depth, making it ideal for refined occasions or pairing with sophisticated dishes.
