Tasting notes
Real masterpiece in the art of blending, Hibiki 30 year old is a remarquable mix of the finest single malt from Yamazaki and Hakushu, aged in different types of casks, and subtly vatted with grain whisky from Chita distillery. This results in an endless medley of gourmet flavors of raisins, prunes, dried figs, apricot jam and chestnut, all coated with spicy notes of gingerbread and cinnamon. After made you flying through a rich and intense aromatic universe, it will slowly disappear, leaving you with elegance some subtle touches of leather, cedar and brown sugar.

About this whisky
Hibiki 30 years is a premium Japanese blended whisky that is highly sought after by whisky enthusiasts around the world. The Hibiki brand is owned by Suntory, one of Japan's oldest and most respected whisky distilleries, which has been producing high-quality whiskies since 1923. The history of Hibiki 30 years can be traced back to the early 1980s, when Suntory's master blender, Keizo Saji, set out to create a new type of blended whisky that would showcase the unique flavours and aromas of Japanese whisky.
Saji spent years experimenting with different blends of malt and grain whiskies, carefully selecting only the finest and most matured casks to create the perfect balance of sweetness, spice, and smokiness. The result of Saji's efforts was the Hibiki 30 years, a whisky that has become synonymous with luxury and sophistication.
