Arita and Kutani are the pre-eminent ceramic houses in Japan, both located on the island of Kyushu. From 2001 till 2014 each house designed a decanter, which was hand-painted and bottled with Suntory’s exceptional Hibiki 21 years old.

This is the Hibiki Aritayaki 2008 release, limited to 700 decanters.

Hibiki was introduced in 1989, initially as a nas version containing 30 different malt whiskies which was later changed to a recipe containing a blend of 36 malt whiskies with an ag statement of 17 years, meaning the youngest component in the blend aged that long. Hibiki 21 was added to the range in 1994.

This is the 1st release, available between 1994 and (so we assume) 2003, individually numbered old crest design with a gold colored back label.
