The Suntory Hibiki 12 Years Old Travel Retail Exclusive celebrates its return to the international travel market in 2026. After more than a decade, the popular 12-year-old blended whisky is once again available, presented in a newly interpreted version by Suntory Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo.
This Japanese blend combines whiskies from the three Suntory distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita. The composition unites different styles and maturation influences and is characterized by the use of American and Spanish oak, as well as Japanese Mizunara oak. This results in a distinctive blend that combines Japanese craftsmanship with Hibiki's signature concept of harmony.
Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky is available exclusively through international travel retail and was developed specifically for this distribution channel. The packaging also reflects Japanese aesthetics, combining the iconic Hibiki bottle with a design inspired by the beauty and ebb and flow of nature.
What does Suntory Hibiki 12 Years Old Travel Retail Exclusive taste like?
On the nose, the Hibiki 12 Years Old Travel Exclusive is elegant and complex, with ripe fruit nuances, floral hints, and a subtle spiciness. These are complemented by delicate citrus notes and a warm, woody component, which adds further depth to the aroma.
On the palate, the blend is balanced and smooth. Spicy orange peel combines with warming cinnamon and a gentle, caramel-buttery sweetness. As it develops, the influences of the different oak casks become more pronounced, lending the whisky additional structure and complexity.
The finish is long and pleasantly spicy. The fruit and sweet notes slowly recede, while warm spices and fine wood notes linger, bringing the whisky to a harmonious close.
