Suntory Hibiki 21 Year Old / 70cl

Product Information

Chief blender of Suntory, Shinji Fukuyo, noted that the team took on the challenge of crafting a new blend with “meticulous precision” to celebrate the milestone. Since then, the brand has gone from strength to strength, incorporating delicate Japanese charm and masterful blending into cask after cask. Nowadays, Hibiki’s symbolic of what ultra-premium Japanese whisky is really capable of. My guess is Hibiki 21 will continue to be in high demand. But the crazy price increases will probably level out slightly. It’s not a bad investment, but there are better options in my opinion.

A new expression called "Japanese Harmony", with no age statement, was introduced in 2015. The new blend was said to use the same malt and grain whiskies used in the first Hibiki blend, being a blend of at least 10 malt and grain whiskies from three distilleries, aged in five different cask types, with some elements aged up to approximately 20 years.

About Hibiki

The vast number of whiskies used for each bottle – sometimes more than 30 per blend – reveals a fast-paced adventure for all the senses. It’s something no other whisky brand has achieved, perfected only with years of experience. With its unusual flavors like lychee and fig and full orchestra and aromas blended with a traditional smokiness, Hibiki is everything its name, “harmonious” represents, and more.
