Direct from the Land of the Rising Sun comes this rare, Japanese work of art.
The Hibiki 12-year-old Kacho Fugetsu expression was released to the Japanese market in miniscule quantities. It’s partially matured in plum liquor casks, blended with bourbon-aged malt from Hakushu, sherry casks from Yamazaki and grain whisky from the company’s Chita distillery.
It represents the beauty of Japanese Nature and is decorated with traditional round patterns of flora and fauna symbolising happiness and the best of fortunes. “Live in Harmony with People and Nature” is what Hibiki envisions. The liquid in this exceptional Japanese blend also picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010 along with a swath of other awards in the preceding years.+
Only one to sell.
Please note: Very slight creasing on the internal booklet, otherwise absolutely mint!
