Suntory Hibiki (1991-1994)
Suntory introduced Hibiki in April 1989, released to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the company. The NAS premium blend at 43% ABV carried a suggested retail price of ¥10,000. Designated as “a masterful blend of specially aged whiskies with a mature full-bodied taste” on the front, the back label further elaborates that the contents are a mix of 30 different whiskies. The unique bottle, with its 24 facets that reflect the hours in the day as well as all the ‘small seasons’ in the year, sported a medallion, a gold cap stopper, all packaged in a luxurious box.
This is the second release, available between 1991 and 1994.
