{"product_id":"hibiki-17-years-old-suntory-whisky","title":"Hibiki 17 Years Old - Suntory Whisky (begin 2000)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHibiki 17 Years Old is one of the most celebrated and sought-after Japanese whiskies ever released by Suntory. Elegant, impeccably balanced and deeply expressive, it embodies the philosophy of hibiki — harmony — for which the brand is named.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrafted by the House of Suntory, founded in 1923, Hibiki is a masterful blend of malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, combined with grain whisky from Chita. Each component is matured for a minimum of 17 years, ensuring depth, refinement and exceptional integration. In Japanese whisky, an age statement is precise: every drop in the bottle has been aged for at least the stated number of years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe whisky is presented in Hibiki’s signature bottle with 24 facets, symbolising the 24 seasonal divisions of the traditional Japanese calendar — a subtle tribute to time, nature and craftsmanship. This attention to detail reflects Suntory’s deep respect for balance and harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the nose, Hibiki 17 offers notes of dried apricot, honey, orange peel and delicate oak spice. The palate reveals dark chocolate, toffee, sandalwood and a gentle wisp of smoke, leading to a long, graceful finish that lingers with quiet elegance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow discontinued and originally released primarily for the Japanese domestic market, Hibiki 17 Years Old is no longer officially available in Europe or the United States. Its limited distribution and growing scarcity have made it highly desirable among collectors worldwide, firmly establishing it as a modern classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHibiki 17 Years Old is more than a whisky; it is a refined expression of Japanese craftsmanship — rare, harmonious and increasingly difficult to obtain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eCategory:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eBlended Malt whisky from Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eHibiki\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eBottling serie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e17 Years Old Release\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eExtra information:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eSuntory Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eExtra information:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eReleased only for the Japanese marked\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eExtra information:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eWith the black number '17' and the golden back label \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eBottler:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eDistillery bottling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eAge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e17 Years Old\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eBottled in:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e2002-2006 (Estimated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eCask type:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eMasterful blend of malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, combined with grain whisky from Chita\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eCask number:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eStrength:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e43%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e700 ml (70 cl)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eTotal produced bottles:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eApprox 10.000 bottles have been produced\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eIncluded original case:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eNo, released without any case: bottle only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eThe bottles are in perfect condition (new)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eGood investment:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003eYes and drinkable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eExpert rating:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e90\/100\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 21.944565%;\"\u003eExtra information:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 77.010138%;\"\u003e-\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hibiki","offers":[{"title":"*K4-13-left\/260213579","offer_id":52459198972232,"sku":"*K4-13-left\/260213579","price":525.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0537\/8120\/files\/Hibiki_17_Years_Old_-_Suntory_Whisky_Japan_-_IMG_7464.jpg?v=1771594161","url":"https:\/\/worldwinewhisky.com\/products\/hibiki-17-years-old-suntory-whisky","provider":"WORLD WINE WHISKY ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
