Hibiki 35 Year Old Whisky 700mL 47% ABV

Today, Arita is experiencing another revival with “rebirth” of Arita Porcelain (or Arita Yaki as it is known in Japanese) and currently there are 114 kilns in operation in Arita. Despite only two of the oldest kilns still employing the ancient wood firing methods, there are many others producing modern ceramic pieces worthy of the heritage of Arita porcelain production.

The wood-fired kiln at Gen-emon. One of only two still in operation in Arita Kilns such as Densaku-gama (Shining China) and Yazaemon (Arita Porcelain Lab) are redefining Arita Yaki and creating brightly coloured pieces and employing innovative firing methods and glazing techniques to continue the legacy of Arita porcelain production that will no doubt carry it forward for another 400 years.

Suntory is the oldest whisky making company in Japan. Today, it is the country’s largest and most recognisable producer of quality whisky. This Hibiki 35 Years Old Limited Edition is one of the best limited release Suntory has ever made for the Hibiki brand. This bottle was released for the year 2017 wherein the celebration of Japan Porcelain 400th Birth Anniversary takes place. It is a tribute to the tradition of the Japanese ancestors to keep the beauty of Japan Artistry forever. The blue illustration in the blue ceramic decanter means happiness, wealth and long life. The decanter that holds this 35-year-old Hibiki blended whisky is a delicate handmade Arita ceramic bottle pottered by a famous Japanese potter and the illustration on the bottle was also designed by a famous Japanese artist which makes it very special.  Presented in a wooden box, this is a special release for the coming year 2017.  Only 150 bottles have been released world-wide, this is a must have for all whisky aficionados and Hibiki lovers out there!

The top notes have a woody character reminiscent of agarwood, alongside a sweet, bright and fruity fragrance, followed by the sweet scent of dried fruits, vanilla and honey. The initial flavour is rich and mellow, a balance of sweet and sour with the full-bodied nose and rich depths. The long, perfectly clear aftertaste is unique and created by aging the whiskies in Japanese oak (mizunara) casks. Hibiki 35 Year Old is best enjoyed straight to enjoy its rich and complex flavour.
