Hibiki 35 Year Old Kutani Decanter

Hibiki 35 Year Old Kutani Decanter Japanese Blended Whisky
700ml | 43% ABV | Non-Chill Filtered | Natural Color | Discontinued Limited Edition

The Pinnacle of Japanese Luxury

The Hibiki 35 Kutani is a legendary artifact of Japanese whisky and ceramic art—crafted in vanishingly small quantities for the most discerning collectors. Consequently, it unites Suntory’s oldest surviving stocks with hand-painted Kutaniyaki porcelain, a 350-year-old craft from Ishikawa Prefecture. Moreover, this decanter stands as a symbol of Japan’s cultural and liquid heritage.

Blended from Vanishingly Rare Casks

This expression combines whiskies aged for over 35 years in ex-Bourbon, Sherry, and Mizunara oak casks—some of the last remaining reserves of their kind. In fact, the Hibiki 35 Kutani delivers an almost meditative depth, with layers of dried fruit, tobacco, incense, and spice woven into seamless harmony.

Profound, Silky, and Timelessly Balanced

Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky achieves extraordinary richness without weight. As a result, it layers fig, prune, dark honey, and leather over sandalwood, clove, and polished oak. Additionally, decades of maturation impart a waxy, velvety texture that defines its regal character.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals dried apricot, beeswax, and orange marmalade, followed by tobacco leaf, incense, and a whisper of sea breeze. Then, subtle notes of green tea and roasted walnut emerge with air.

On the palate, the texture is sumptuous and full. Flavors of plum, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and Mizunara spice unfold with grace. The alcohol integrates flawlessly, adding warmth without heat.

Finally, the finish is exceptionally long and contemplative—dried herbs, almond, and a hint of mineral freshness. Altogether, it’s a transcendent experience that honors the vision of this Hibiki 35 Kutani.

A Discontinued Crown Jewel

Suntory released the Hibiki 35 Kutani in extremely limited numbers before retiring the expression entirely. Therefore, it’s now one of the rarest Japanese whiskies in existence. The hand-decorated Kutani ceramic decanter alone is a museum-worthy artwork—making this a true heirloom.
