Reimagined by fifth-generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, it brings together malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita, with the blend shaped by American, Spanish and Japanese Mizunara oak. The result is a graceful expression of the Hibiki house style, balancing ripe fruit, fragrant florals, warming spice and seasoned wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden amber in colour, Hibiki 12 opens with persimmon and jasmine, followed by cardamom, orange and sandalwood. Spiced orange peel and toasted cinnamon develop across the palate, with butterscotch adding rounded sweetness before a rich, lingering finish of gentle spice and Mizunara wood. The travel-exclusive presentation draws on Kacho-Fugetsu, the classical Japanese appreciation of flowers, birds, wind and moon, with cherry blossoms and flowing water across the bottle and packaging. Hibiki’s 24-faceted bottle references the 24 microseasons of the traditional Japanese calendar, while the circular Marumado window echoes traditional Japanese architecture. Designed for slow sipping, it works particularly well over a large sphere of ice or alongside roasted and lightly spiced dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fragrant and complex\u003cbr\u003ePersimmon, jasmine, cardamom, orange and sandalwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Rich and gently spiced\u003cbr\u003eSpiced orange peel, toasted cinnamon and butterscotch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and soothing\u003cbr\u003eA rich, lingering finish carried by warming spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eGold Medal — International Spirits Challenge 2026. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand - Hibiki\u003cbr\u003eStyle – Blended\u003cbr\u003eAge Statement – 12 Year Old\u003cbr\u003eCountry – Japan\u003cbr\u003eDistilleries – Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita\u003cbr\u003eCask Types – American Oak, Spanish Oak and Mizunara Oak\u003cbr\u003eBatch \/ Barrel Detail - Travel Exclusive Limited Edition\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 700ml\u003cbr\u003eCask Strength - No\u003cbr\u003eABV – 43%\u003cbr\u003ePeat Level - Unpeated \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hibiki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44334384414807,"sku":"HIB-12-LE","price":799.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/Hibiki12YearOldBlendedJapaneseWhiskyTravelExclusive.webp?v=1790210985","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/hibiki-12-year-old-blended-japanese-whisky-travel-exclusive-limited-edition-700ml","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
