Hibiki is embraced as an icon of Japanese luxury from the award-winning House of Suntory Whisky. The name Hibiki means "resonance" in Japanese and was first launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory's philosophy of living in harmony with people and nature. Hibiki is a noble blend of innumerous malt and grain whiskies from Suntory globally acclaimed Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries, meticulously blended to create a sense of "wa" - a oneness that unveils a full orchestra of flavours and aroma.
This Blender’s Choice resonates with the subtleties of nature infused by the twenty-four seasons of Japan's traditional calendar and reflected in the twenty-four facets of its bottle's design.
