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.
At the pinnacle of Hibiki, with numerous awards to its name, is a blend of malt and grain whiskies aged 30 years and beyond. With unprecedented demand for Japanese whiskies leading to the discontinuation of most age statements, the Hibiki 30-year-old expression remains a cherished part of the Hibiki portfolio.
