What is Hibiki 12 Year Old Bottle & Background
Hibiki is a premium Japanese blended whisky from Suntory. The name �Hibiki� means �resonance� or �echo� in Japanese. 
The 12 Year Old expression was introduced in 2009. 
As a blend, Hibiki draws from malt whisky (from distilleries such as Yamazaki Distillery, Hakushu Distillery) and grain whisky (from Chita Distillery). 
The blend historically included whisky matured in a variety of casks, sometimes including casks previously used for plum wine. 
The bottle is the classic Hibiki �faceted� design one of the more iconic whisky bottles globally which reflects the brand�s emphasis on harmony, aesthetics, and the art of Japanese whisky. 
However very importantly the 12-year-old edition was discontinued (as part of a broader shift away from some age-statement blends when the brand introduced non-age-statement variants like �Japanese Harmony�).
Because of discontinuation + increasing global demand for Japanese whisky, Hibiki 12 Year Old has become a collector�s item rather than a �regular shelf whisky.�
