Hibiki 30 Year Old Kacho Fugetsu Kagami Crystal Decanter (70cl, 43%)

Hibiki 30 Year Old Kacho Fugetsu is a Japanese blended whisky from Suntory, released to travel retail in 2015 and limited to 100 individually numbered bottles. It is bottled at 43% in a 70cl size and blends Yamazaki and Hakushu malts with Chita grain whisky. Kacho Fugetsu means flowers, birds, wind and moon. Those four motifs are etched into the 30-faceted Kagami Crystal decanter, where each facet marks a year of maturation. A leather-bound presentation box completes the set. The nose brings rose, lychee and a hint of rosemary with mature oak and sandalwood. The palate is honeyed, with candied orange peel, white chocolate and a velvety texture. The finish is subtle, tender and long, with a touch of Mizunara oak.
