Hibiki Hibiki 21yr Suntory 100th Anniversary

Description

Buying Hibiki 21 Years Old 100Th Anniversary is getting a masterclass in Japanese distillation. It represents a legacy that has been perfected over the years, culminating in this exquisite blend. Two decades of barrel maturation have added depth and richness, resulting in a whiskey with notes of dried fruit, spice and a subtle hint of smoke. Hibiki, which means resonance in Japanese, truly resonates with the harmony of nature and the art of distillation. Each sip tells a story, a journey through time and space, transporting you to the heart of Japan and its ancient traditions. In celebration of a century of Japanese whisky, Chief Blender ​Shinji Fukuyo and his team of blenders challenged ​themselves to rethink the Art of Blending for Hibiki. They chose to use of the legendary Mizunara oak as a sign of respect for Japanese heritage, rather than the more traditional sherry cask. The final blend is an exploration of how ​a single detail can alter the whole alchemy, creating this extraordinary whisky.
