A Fusion of Whisky and Ceramic Art

The Hibiki 21 Kutaniyaki 2014 is a stunning collaboration between Suntory and Japan’s legendary Kutaniyaki porcelain artisans. Consequently, its bottle features hand-painted enamel in vibrant red, gold, and green—a tribute to 350 years of ceramic tradition. Moreover, this release celebrates Japanese craftsmanship in both liquid and vessel.

Crafted for Connoisseurs, Decorated for Eternity

This expression blends aged malts and grain whiskies matured for over 21 years, including rare Mizunara oak casks. In fact, the Hibiki 21 Kutaniyaki delivers the deep, layered profile Hibiki 21 is known for—dried fruit, spice, and sandalwood—while its bottle stands as a functional work of art.

Luxurious, Complex, and Impeccably Balanced

Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky offers opulent depth with remarkable finesse. As a result, it layers fig, prune, and dark honey over cinnamon, clove, and polished oak. Additionally, the extended aging creates a waxy, velvety texture that lingers with grace.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals dried apricot, beeswax, and orange marmalade, followed by sandalwood, leather, and a hint of tobacco. Then, delicate floral and vanilla notes emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is sumptuous and full. Flavors of plum, dark chocolate, roasted almond, and Mizunara spice unfold with precision. The alcohol integrates seamlessly, enhancing warmth without heat.

Finally, the finish is exceptionally long—green tea, almond, and a whisper of incense. Altogether, it’s a majestic dram that embodies the artistry of this Hibiki 21 Kutaniyaki.

A Discontinued Collector’s Masterpiece
