Hibiki 17 Year Old Japanese Whisky: A Multi-Award-Winning Blended Craft

Hibiki 17 Years is a consistent award-winner within the Hibiki age statement line, having repeatedly won gold medals at international competitions such as ISC and IWSC. It also gained international fame after being featured in the movie "Lost in Translation." This page delves into its blending craftsmanship and tasting characteristics, supplementing the version identification details found on other Hibiki 17 Years pages.

Hibiki Brand and Market Background

Hibiki is Suntory's flagship series of blended whiskies, crafted by the master blender using carefully selected aged spirits from the three major distilleries: Yamazaki (malt), Hakushu (malt), and Chita (grain).

Several age statements within 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, leading to a steady increase in secondary market prices.
