Product details
Hibiki 30-Year Flower Crest is an exceptional expression of Suntory’s century-long dedication to Japanese craftsmanship and refined blending. Its character is shaped by a carefully composed selection of malt and grain components aged for at least 30 years, including rare portions matured in Mizunara oak. The presentation carries its own cultural significance: the signature 30-faceted crystal bottle, crafted by Kagami Crystal, symbolizes the passage of time, while the label is made from traditional Echizen washi paper, a craft with a history spanning approximately 1,500 years. A striking gold flower crest adorns the front, and the distinctive gold-toned, double-door wooden presentation box draws inspiration from the form of a traditional Buddhist shrine. Together, these details make Hibiki 30 Flower Crest a remarkable collector’s presentation.
The aroma opens with pronounced Mizunara character, reminiscent of sandalwood and temple incense, accompanied by dark leather and raisins. The palate is dense and richly textured, revealing dark chocolate, Eastern spices, and cinnamon. Its exceptionally long finish brings a pronounced bittersweet balance and deep, mature oak notes.
