About

Hibiki 17 is a masterful blend of malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita, all aged at least 17 years. The extended aging and judicious use of mizunara oak casks create a whisky of extraordinary depth and subtlety, considered one of the finest blended whiskies ever produced.
