A rare gem in Japanese whisky, the Suntory Hibiki 12 Year Old offers an exquisite blend of artistry and craftsmanship. Crafted by the renowned Suntory, this whisky brings together carefully aged malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu with premium grain whisky from Chita Distillery. What sets Hibiki 12 apart is its partial maturation in plum liqueur (Umeshu) barrels, a unique feature that imparts a subtle sweetness and depth.
The Hibiki 12 years old was discontinued by Suntory in 2015 and it is now a rare collector’s gem, revered for its smooth complexity and cultural significance.
