Using malts and grains from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita, the reserves from which Hibiki blends can pick and choose are huge. I thought it will be very different than Scottish whisky and maybe not good enough but it was a big surprise for me, something new but still whisky and really nice one. Suntory is a leading producer of Japanese whisky and Hibiki Harmony is a blend of malt and grain whiskies from their three exceptional distilleries, Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita.

Crafted by the Suntory Whisky blending team, led by Master Blender Shingo Torii, it's an elegant expression, with notes of honey, orange, a herbaceous touch or two and light oak. A magical blend of malt and grain whiskies blended to create a full orchestra of aromas and flavours. In the years that have followed, Hibiki has become a highly sought-after and universally known Japanese whisky.

To become a blender at Suntory, one needs to be able to communicate with whiskies that can not speak. Suntory's specially designed bottle of Hibiki Japanese Harmony - Master's Select highlights the traditional Japanese symbols of the Sakura flower (cherry blossom), Goshoguruma (royal carriage) and Ryusuimon (streaming water). The unusual bottle design presents itself with 24 facets in relief optics, which stand for one hour of the day and each month of the Japanese lunar calendar. Chita, on the other hand, is traditionally used as the “dashi” or broth that enhances Suntory blends.

They are a harmonious blend of Suntory’s Yamazaki and Hakashu malt whiskies and Chita grain whisky that resound with calm complexity and “Wa”; oneness. Seductive, blossoming and enigmatic, Hibiki celebrates an unrivaled art of blending, fine craftsmanship and a sense of luxury from the House of Suntory.
