More about Hibiki

Hibiki whisky, one of Suntory's most prestigious brands, was first launched in 1989 in honour of the company's 90th anniversary. Hibiki means "resonance" in Japanese, and the whisky is meant to symbolise the harmony between nature and the people who create it. The brand is known for its exceptional blend of different malts and grain whiskies, sourced from Suntory's three main distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita.

A unique feature of Hibiki whisky is the careful selection and blending of whiskies that are up to 30 years old, resulting in a complex and refined flavour profile. Maturation takes place in a variety of casks, including rare Japanese Mizunara oak casks, which give the whisky its distinctive soft and subtle notes.

Hibiki is known for its perfectly balanced flavour, with notes of honey, dried fruit, flowers and a hint of smoke, complemented by a long, silky finish. The striking, octagonal bottle symbolises the Japanese aesthetic of "wa" (harmony) and is as iconic as the whisky itself. Hibiki is hailed worldwide as a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship and refinement.
