Hibiki 12 Years Old Blended Japanese Whisky 50 cl

Product Information

Yes, you read correctly, you are to stir half stirs to prepare this properly…it’s simply part of the ritual.

I just had to use Lost In Translation as the movie reference for Suntory Hibiki 12YO, because they both gave me similar feelings.The sweet floral aroma of the hand-selected, matured malts, combined with a natural wood essence, create a truly special whisky, with a full-bodied character. I was also very lucky to have been gifted a bottle of the 12 around five years ago and thought it was unusual whisky, but still very good. Hibiki 12 is a widely-acclaimed blend of 12 year-old (or greater) Japanese whisky from global giant Suntory.

Suntory today has a large stake in both the bourbon and Scotch whisky industry, but remains at the forefront of its native whisky market too.

Bourbons and ryes will all be too potent to compare well, but Angel’s Envy is light (and port finished), so that’s probably closest among bourbons.He changed the company name from Kotobukiya to Suntory in 1963 and greatly expanded the company’s production capacity by completing the Hakushu distillery in 1973. The 12 year old Hibiki was introduced to the range in 2009, but was discontinued in favour of a new non-age statement Japanese Harmony as the entry level product in 2015.

The expression is made up of more than 20 components including single malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries and grain whisky from the Chita distillery, ranging in age from 12 years to 30 years. The Nose: A quite fruity and lively nose full of orange marmalade and red berry jam laced with wonderfully floral honey. Although Suntory will never admit it, we reckon it’s a 7 to 9-year-old whisky in the Harmony as opposed to a 12-year-old. Numerous pure single malt whiskies aged in a variety of cask types, including Mizunara, a rare Japanese oak, all combine to create a dazzling, echoing roundness in the Hibiki 12 year old.

The use of the plum casks is subtle but present, adding to that dark fruit quality, complimenting the tannic spice of the sherry casks and the citrus and vanilla of the bourbon casks.

I thought it fitting to have some Hibiki in this style to honor Suntory Whisky’s 90th anniversary and a visit to Camper English’s Alcademics led me to this recipe as told by Suntory’s ambassador Neyah White. The venture was hugely successful, and the company was renamed Kotobukiya in 1921, which built its first distillery three years later, Yamazaki.
