Product Specifications and Craftsmanship Details

To help collectors more accurately identify and assess its resale value, we've broken down the following key information:

Item Detailed Description
Whiskey Age 21 Years Old
Alcohol Content 43% Vol
Volume 600ml / 700ml (depending on version)
Bottle Craftsmanship Hand-painted by Arita-yaki masters, featuring Iro-e Akatama Unryu-mon (cloud dragon and red orb patterns)

Why Does the "Iro-e Akatama Unryu-mon Kakubin" Have High Resale Value?

  1. Rarity of Craftsmanship: Each Arita-yaki bottle is hand-painted and fired, resulting in a much lower production volume compared to standard glass bottles.

  2. Discontinuation Effect: With the shortage of Japanese Whisky aged statements, original whiskies aged 21 years or more are extremely precious, driving up auction prices for special packaging versions.

  3. Cultural Value: The cloud dragon motif symbolizes authority and good fortune, making it a preferred choice for many Asian collectors for Chinese New Year, important celebrations, or corporate gifting.


Resale Valuation Standards (Tips for Higher Transaction Prices)

Before inquiring about whiskey resale, we recommend checking the following points, as they will directly impact the quote for your Hibiki 21 Year Old Arita-yaki:

  • Bottle Integrity: Are there any chips, cracks, or glaze wear on the ceramic bottle?

  • Liquid Level: Although ceramic bottles are opaque, natural evaporation can be assessed by weighing the bottle.

  • Original Accessories: Is the original wooden box (paulownia box) in clean condition, and are all accessories (ribbon, certificate) complete?

  • Seal Condition: The bottle's seal must be intact and undamaged. Any damage or leakage will significantly affect the price.
