This consignor was introduced to scotch a few years ago by a friend, and it wasn’t long before he developed a strong interest in the spirit. As he explored different offerings, he discovered his personal favorites and began acquiring bottles that suited his particular taste. Before he realized it, he had become a collector. While most of his bottles were purchased from retailers, some were obtained through auctions and trades with fellow collectors. His collection has always been stored in a dedicated scotch bar area within his home—a carefully controlled space in terms of both light and temperature. Bottles are primarily stored upright, though they are occasionally rotated or tilted as needed.

The Suntory Hibiki 17 Phoenix is the second bottle in the Kacho Fugetsu limited edition series and was released in 2011. The bottle features two phoenixes, one large one in the front, and a baby phoenix on the back depicting that phoenixes are mythological birds that cyclically regenerate or are otherwise born again. Only 3000 hand painted decanters produced. Nose- Floral notes, bitter orange marmalade, and smoky dark chocolate. Palate- Elegant smokiness complemented by sweet, subtle citrus flavors. Finish- Long-lasting with a balance of sweetness and gentle smoke.
