Suntory Hibiki 17 Year Old Gold Box Edition Japanese Whisky

Suntory Hibiki 17 Years Old Gold Box Edition Japanese Whisky
A rare early release of Suntory’s flagship blend, Hibiki 17 year old. Presented in a beautiful gold presentation box. 
This is Suntory’s most popular blend, the Hibiki. Launched in 1989, it contains malt whisky from Yamazaki and Hakushu, and grain from the Chita distillery. The 17 year old was joined in the original lineup by a 21 year old and a non-age statement. The latter both still exist in one form or another, but this expression was discontinued in 2018 after unprecedented demand for Japanese whiskies created wholesale stock shortages within even its largest companies.
