Hibiki 17 Year Old: A fantastic Japanese blend, made with aged malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s three distilleries. Spicy and sophisticated, this is great for catching people out at blind tastings. Recently awarded a Gold ‘Editor’s Choice’ award from Whisky Magazine and picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010.
Tasting Notes
NOSE
Ripe soft and pillow like with hints of smoke and toasty wood. Citrus leaf, cocoa, cooked apricot, ripe banana, hazelnut giving a crunch.
PALATE
Toffee sweetness stretches along the palate. Very clean and clear. Sweet with sultana and cherry.
FINISH
Long and silky.
COMMENT
Relaxed and laid back. This is excellent blending.

Purchased a 17yo and it was fabulous! Smooth and delightful, sure we ended up climbing trees, swimming in winter and blanking out but its well worth the ride. I dare you to polish off a bottle with a friend and then sit back to watch the carnage unfold. In my opinion the best tasting whiskey on the market. 100% recommended.

I tried this bottle based on it’s long list of awards and it definitely did not let me down. This is one of the best blended whiskies on the market and one that you must have on your shelf. If you’re looking to impress friends without breaking the bank, this bottle is a sure bet.

What more can be said about this excellent Japanese whiskey. The Japanese do it right and if they can’t they don’t do it at all. Well worth the money, I just hope I can buy more after this bottle is gone, its impossible to find in Or.

An amazing whiskey I was paying ¥4500 or more a shot in Japan for this when I could find it.

So this was my first time purchasing whiskey through liquor collections and from the day 1 the customer service staff was amazing! They definitely will keep you updated with your order, ship and package your whiskey bottle safely. So I just started to getting into Japanese whiskey last year and just return from my first trip from Japan recently. Japan your culture is amazing! I been to like 50 liquors store and could not find Hibiki 12. When I got back to states my friend told me about you guys and bam! now I have Hibiki 12 and Hibiki 17 in my collection. Thanks Liquor Collections!
