Hibiki 12 Year Old Version and Specification Quick Reference Table

The resale price will vary depending on the capacity and packaging version. Below are common specifications for reference:

Specification/Version Capacity Description Collector Value Rating

4 Key Factors Determining Resale Price

When providing a quote for Hibiki 12 Year Old, our appraisers will conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on the following details:

  1. Completeness of Outer Box and Accessories: Is the original purple outer box free from creases and moisture damage? The completeness of the box affects the price by approximately 10% - 15%.

  2. Fill Level: If not properly sealed during long-term storage, the liquid may evaporate. A fill level above the neck is crucial for maintaining the highest resale price.

  3. Condition of Label and Seal: Is the label moldy or yellowed? Is the aluminum seal scratched or damaged? The integrity of the seal directly relates to authenticity verification.

  4. Presence of Distributor Label: Hong Kong parallel import labels from specific years or labels from specific foreign regions can sometimes influence the preferences of certain collectors.
