Hibiki Blender’s Choice

Stepping up the fill the gap left by Hibiki 17’s absence is the newly unveiled “Hibiki Blender’s Choice” release. The blend includes carefully selected vintages, married together by Suntory’s team of expert blenders. The addition of a few wine cask-aged whiskies in the blend delivers a round, well-balanced profile and immense depth.

About Hibiki

Suntory is the oldest whisky making company in Japan. Its origins stretch back to a small shop, started in 1899 by Torii Shinjiro, which specialized in selling imported wines. Today, it is the country’s largest and most recognizable producer of quality whisky. Of all its products, the Hibiki remains the most popular, having been chosen as the best whisky in the world on several occasions.

“圓潤，甜美，深沉”的表達。Hibiki Blender’s Choice 將使用來自不同類型桶的各種成熟度，主要從15年到30年酒桶成熟的液體，以43％abv，700毫升裝瓶。酒款說明上，有兩個比較有趣的地方：
1/ 平均原酒年份15年，使用部分30年以上原酒
2/ 有使用葡萄酒桶熟成原酒，帶來更多甘甜與層次
雖然基本上使用陳年15年的原酒，但因為是無年份會有低於15年的原酒，價位上則是略低於響17，但跟其他無年份比定價則較高。加上這一款酒，目前響已經有三款NAS無年份版本在市場上，另兩款為「響 Japanese Harmony」及「響 Japanese Harmony Master’s Select」。
