This is a new expression for 2018, rather than a replacement for the discontinued Hibiki 17 year old, and based on an entirely new recipe (some x wine casks are included in the vatting). Scheduled for bars and restaurants across Japan, Blender's Choice comes with no age statement making it the third label under Hibiki’s growing portfolio of age-mystery whiskies (the others being Japanese Harmony and Japenese Harmony Master’s Select).. 43% ABV. Region - Japan
