Description

Hibiki 21 was named World’s Best Blended Whisky at the 2014 World Whiskies Awards and was awarded 96 points in Jim Murray’s 2014 Whisky Bible. Dr. Whisky says it’s ‘Unbelievably balanced, and dangerously drinkable’.

Hibiki 21 is a blend of rare and meticulously selected whisky from Suntory’s stocks. The base of the blend is from Yamazaki’s premium sherry casks. Hibiki 21 has won the world whisky awards (WWA) best blended whisky for three out of the past four years.

Hibiki, meaning resonance in Japanese, speaks to the soul and emotions of the most discerning whisky lover. Hibiki is the highest class blended whisky from Suntory made from single malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu, some often aged with a very rare Japanese oak.
