Frequently asked
How does Master's Select differ from Japanese Harmony?
Master's Select is a step up: richer profile, more sherry influence, and greater complexity from specific Master Blender cask selection. Not age-stated but distinctly premium beyond the Japanese Harmony core.
Is this age-statement whisky?
No — Hibiki Master's Select is non-age-statement, focused on the Master Blender's specific cask selection rather than an aging requirement. Standard practice for premium Hibiki expressions below the Hibiki 17.
Is this a good corporate gift?
Excellent — premium Hibiki tier with distinctive presentation. Communicates the recipient is worth more than an entry-level Hibiki gift.
