Hong Kong acquires old HIBIKI Golden Flower whisky at high price

Hibiki Gold Label Old Version: An Early Mark in the Hibiki Series' History

"Gold Label" refers to the early label design of the Hibiki series before the 2000s, featuring golden patterns on the front. The Hibiki Gold Label Old Version may correspond to the early basic no-age-statement Hibiki, or the 12, 17, and 21-year-old gold label versions. Due to its long release date and small batches, the Gold Label Old Version is an entry-level advanced collection item in the Hibiki series.

Hibiki Brand and Market Background

Hibiki's blending process uses plum wine cask-aged whisky, giving the spirit a unique rounded fruit sweetness – a flavor profile difficult for other blended whisky brands to replicate.

Multiple age statements of the Hibiki series (12, 17, 21, and 30 years) have either been discontinued or had their supply significantly reduced. The annual circulation in the market continues to shrink, and secondary market prices are steadily rising.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Does the Gold Label Old Version exclusively refer to Hibiki 21-year-old Gold Label?

A: Not necessarily. The Gold Label Old Version may correspond to gold label versions of various Hibiki age statements (No Age Statement, 12/17/21). The age statement on the label or the batch code on the bottle bottom should be used for identification.

Q: Are there many counterfeits of the Gold Label Old Version?

A: Compared to the market circulation, the proportion of counterfeits is not high. However, due to its high scarcity and steadily rising market price, rigorous authentication is still required.
