Hibiki, meaning “harmony” in Japanese, was created in 1989 to honor Suntory’s 90th anniversary. Since then, it has become a celebrated icon of The Art of Japanese Whisky, embodying the essence of Japanese nature and craftsmanship. Hibiki is a harmonious blend of malt and grain whiskies from three renowned distilleries – Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita – meticulously crafted to deliver a symphony of flavors and aromas. With unprecedented demand for Japanese whiskies leading to the discontinuation of most age statements, the award-winning Hibiki 21-year-old expression remains a cherished part of the Hibiki portfolio.
This 100th Anniversary limited edition whisky celebrates a century of craftsmanship by the House of Suntory, offering whisky enthusiasts the chance to savor a piece of its storied legacy. Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo and team chose Mizunara oak as a tribute to Japanese heritage, stepping away from the traditional sherry cask in favor of something bolder and more distinctive. This bold choice gave rise to a fresh take on Harmony, one that’s defined for the first time by the distinctive character of Mizunara.
