Born in April 3, 1989 to commemorate the 90 year anniversary of the Suntory, HIBIKI was created to be the paragon of the Suntory blend. HIBIKI is a harmonious blend of innumerous malt and grain whiskies aged more than 17 years, which are meticulously blended to create a full orchestra of flavors and aromas.

From HIBIKI 17 Years Old -Suntory official site

When I tried this whisky at Bar Five in Shibuya, I fall in love with its sweet fragrance and mellow taste. And I became a fun of this belended whisky. And I decided to buy this bottle too. Now its price was about 40,000 Japanese yen. Too expensive. If you have chance to rty this 17 Years, drink this neat first please.

I tried drinking this neat, on the rock, twice up. And I thought neat is best way to enjoy this whisky. How about you?
