Hibiki 30 Year Old Whisky, Japan Old Rip Van Winkle Exposure: East and WestA pinnacle Hibiki release composed of some of Suntorys oldest malt and grain stocks, aged predominantly in Mizunara and sherry casks. The 30 layers decades of oxidative concentration with the aromatic lift of rare Mizunara: sandalwood, lacquered fruit, dark honey, and umami rich depth. Texture is impossibly silken, tannin fully resolved, and the finish long, warm, and incense driven. A masterclass in Japanese blending at extreme age.
