This is a whisky not merely to drink but to experience. A slow sip of Hibiki 17-Year-Old takes you on a sensory journey through rich wood, floral fruit, and silky elegance.
Blossoming Elegance & Mizunara Magic
The magic of Hibiki 17 Year Old lies in its balance—a rare harmony that seduces with every layer. It begins with aromas of cherry blossom, peach, and candied orange, followed by deeper hints of caramel, sandalwood, and aged oak from the Mizunara casks.
On the palate, it’s velvety and round, rich with notes of milk caramel, baked apple, sweet plums, and spiced honey. The texture is smooth and mouth-coating, revealing complex tones of warm wood and floral fruit that unfold gracefully. The long finish hums with faint smoke, gentle spice, and a mellow richness born from 17 years of maturation.
The Mizunara casks used in the aging process impart a subtle incense-like woodiness that gives Hibiki 17 Year Old its signature character—elegant, slightly exotic, and deeply satisfying.
This is the kind of whisky that speaks in whispers, not shouts—an ode to quiet sophistication.
