This limited-edition bottle was designed to represent both celebration and shared happiness in honour of the 30th Anniversary of Suntory Whisky Hibiki. The bottle is embellished with the tabane-noshi, a traditional Japanese symbol of celebration which is extremely auspicious and symbolises shared happiness with others.
The whisky is produced using bourbon-aged malt from Hakushu, sherry casks from Yamazaki and grain whisky from the company’s Chita distillery. An interesting fact is that Suntory quite candidly advertises this artistic edition as a collector’s item that will unlikely be opened to enjoy the whisky.
One of the most beautiful bottles of Hibiki ever produced!
