Commemorative Travel Release

Created as an artistic expression of Japanese nature, the Kacho Fugetsu edition translates centuries of cultural reverie for Mount Fuji onto Hibiki's 24-faceted bottle.

The Hibiki 21 Mount Fuji Kacho Fugetsu Limited Edition combines single malts from Yamazaki and Hakushu with aged grain whiskies from Chita, each matured for at least 21 years across Japanese Mizunara oak, Spanish sherry casks, and American oak barrels. The finished blend is housed in Hibiki's 24-faceted bottle, specially decorated with artwork depicting Mount Fuji to celebrate the harmony of Japanese seasons and natural beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the liquid inside the Mount Fuji Edition different from standard Hibiki 21?

No. The whisky inside is the identical 21-year-old blended whisky formulation as standard Hibiki 21. The distinction lies in the collectible decanter artwork, outer box packaging, and travel-retail exclusive distribution.

What does "Kacho Fugetsu" mean?

Kacho Fugetsu (花鳥風月) is a Japanese kanji idiom translating to "Flowers, Birds, Wind, and Moon," representing the beauty of natural scenery and the harmonious cycle of the seasons.

How should this bottle be served?

Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature. A few drops of pure water will lift the Mizunara sandalwood aromatics and dried fruit complexity without disrupting the velvety texture.
