Hibiki 40 year old

Hibiki 40 Year Old represents the apex of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, crafted by the revered House of Suntory. This exquisite blend comprises meticulously chosen malt and grain whiskies, each aged over four decades, sourced from the distinguished Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries.

It is aged in a unique amalgamation of American oak, Spanish oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak casks, contributing to its intricate flavour profile.

On the nose, Hibiki 40 Year Old offers enchanting aromas of Japanese loquat, complemented by dry lemon peel and clove. The palate delights with rich flavours of pure acacia honey and dry fig, leading to an aromatic aftertaste. The finish is exceptionally long and smooth, with lingering notes of incense and subtle spices, making it a hallmark of refined elegance. This whisky is a testament to the artistry and dedication inherent in Japanese whisky production.
