The Hibiki 21yo Kacho Fugetsu - 3rd Limited Edition is a highly awarded and prestigious blended whisky from Suntory, Japan's leading influence in the whisky industry. First introduced in 1989, Hibiki has gained significant recognition and exposure, notably in the 2003 film "Lost in Translation." This limited edition bottle is becoming increasingly rare due to the aging whisky shortage at Suntory's warehouse.
Kacho Fugetsu, meaning "flowers, birds, breeze, and lunar," represents the natural beauty of Japan and is embodied in this 21-year-old whisky. The bottle itself features 24 facets, representing the 24 seasons of the Japanese lunar calendar. This particular edition, released in 2015, is limited to 2,000 bottles, adding to its exclusivity and collectability.
Hibiki 21yo is a blend of specially selected mature malt and grain whiskies, aged for a minimum of 21 years. The key Yamazaki sherry casked malt is vatted with other carefully chosen mellow unblended grain whiskies, creating a complex and smooth flavor profile.
This whisky is a testament to Shinjiro Torii's vision, who started Suntory as a wine store in Osaka in 1899. Torii's first venture into the distilling industry, Yamazaki, produced grain and malt whisky, leading to the establishment of the Hakushu distillery. Hibiki, the most popular blend by Suntory, combines whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and the Chita grain whisky, offering a unique and well-rounded Japanese whisky experience.
In honor of Fujisan or Mount Fuji, the highest peak in Japan, this limited edition Hibiki 21yo Kacho Fugetsu bottle is designed with 24 faces, symbolizing the ancient Japanese tradition of "Sekki," the age-old calendar that represents the 24 seasons. This exquisite and rare whisky is a must-have for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike.
