Suntory Hibiki 17 Year Old Blended Japanese Whisky (700ml)

Hibiki 17 Year-Old-Blended Japanese-Whisky.

Considerable progress has been made by the Japanese in popularizing their own whiskies which

very often contain a large proportion of Scotch Malt whisky to enrich the flavour.

Investment in the Japanese industry is large and major brands such as Suntory

and Nikka have become very popular in their home market.

Note: Bottle only, no gift box.

We must say this has not been the case in Australia for one obvious reason:

their prohibitive price in relation to the genuine article.

This frustrating reality ensured we only ever sold one bottle of Japanese whisky for the

many years that we stocked them – and that bottle was to a Japanese tourist!

The situation is now changing and our latest shipment makes a range of

these world class offerings more accessible than ever.

Apart from Single Malts, Suntory also produce a premium series of blended

whiskies under the label ‘Hibiki‘ (meaning ‘harmony’).

However, the Hibiki 17 year old contains an unusually high proportion of Single Malt for a blend, upwards of 50% according to one of the company’s blenders.

most with an age well above 17 years.
