About this bottle

This highly restricted 17-year-old expression from the House of Suntory is a blend of Yamazaki and Hakushu single malts with single grain from the Chita distillery. The whisky is presented in Hibiki's signature 24-faceted glass decanter, symbolizing the hours in a day and the traditional Japanese calendar's 24 seasons, and features a screen-printed image of chrysanthemums and red-crowned cranes. This elegant packaging and the refined blended whisky inside make it a sought-after collectible.

Why there's no score

We have 25 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
