With a similar amber coloring but a more delicate crafting, Hibiki pulls together the best of traditional whisky with a refined edge.

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. [5] [8] Hibiki is careful, measured, and specific. Every element of this incredible whisky was designed precisely so, with no margin for error or any kind of supplementation. And that’s something you’ll spot every step of the way. Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service.

Today, it is a widely demanded blended Japanese whisky, according to Beam Suntory. House of Suntory made the choice to celebrate in style for the limited release of the 21-year-old expression. Rare mizunara oak was used during the aging process, although the brand didn’t specify exactly how, simply saying the prized Mizunara oak was used for “profoundly influencing” the blend.

It’s filtered with bamboo charcoal, which is what gives Hibiki its sweet, gentle flavor that it’s loved best for. The 21-year-old whisky and a new limited edition bottle design for Hibiki Japanese Harmony marks a century since founder Shinjiro Torii established Japan’s first malt whisky distillery in 1923.Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. 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.
