With stunning packaging, this expression was limited to 2000 bottles and only released for sale in Japan. It’s the follow up to the 1st edition bottling this time displaying a larger Mount Fuji on the bottle and box. It epitomises the beauty of Japanese nature with Mt. Fuji drawn in beautiful black and white colours with Japanese plum, pine and bamboo symbolising health and good fortune.
The Hibiki bottle also doubles as a decanter that has 24 unique cuts. These facets are purposely designed to represent the 24 hours of the day and the 24 seasons of a traditional Japanese lunar calendar as the whisky rests and develops throughout the seasons and years.
