The first-generation product of the \"Hibiki\" series, which was born in the 1980s, was precisely without a vintage mark. However, this does not mean that it was positioned as a low-end product. Instead, at that time, Suntory believed that they should not be confined to the vintage but blend old and new wines together in order to refine the most balanced and harmonious flavor. Therefore, although the average age of the base wines used in this product was 20 years, there was no vintage mark at all. Later, in order to adapt to the market and improve the product's grade recognition, this product was marked with a 17-year identification.
