Hibiki 21YO Special Bottle Collection 2013

Post by Stefan Van Eycken, Tokyo

In a few weeks time, Suntory’s annual ‘Hibiki 21’ Special Bottle Collection will go on sale in Japan. Like before, there will be two different styles of decanter – an ‘Arita-yaki’ and a ‘Kutani-yaki’ – but the shape and decorative artwork are different. There’s not much to report because everything else – size (600ml), bottling strength (43%abv) and price (30,000 yen) – is the same as last year. Limited to 800 bottles, the decanters will be on the shelves of liquor stores and posh department stores on December 3rd.
