Suntory Hibiki "Blossom Harmony" Whisky 2022 700ml

Suntory Whisky was founded in 1923 by Shinjiro Torii. For over three generations, Suntory's master blenders have devoted themselves to pursuing the harmony of Japanese nature and craftsmanship. Shaped through masterful technique and served with a reverence for Japanese omotenashi, Suntory whiskies are among the most awarded and admired in the world.

Hibiki is the paragon of harmony — launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory's philosophy of living in harmony with people and nature.

The name Hibiki means "resonance" in Japanese. Suntory Whisky Hibiki 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.

Hibiki is a noble blend of innumerous malt and grain whiskies from Suntory's globally acclaimed Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. These whiskies are meticulously blended to create a sense of "wa" — a oneness which unveils a full orchestra of flavors and aroma.

Hibiki is embraced as an icon of Japanese luxury from the award winning House of Suntory Whisky.

Hibiki Blossom Harmony is a special Hibiki to accompany times of celebration. A rare selection of whiskies finished in sakura wood casks have been specially blended with diverse malt and grain whiskies, well matured over many seasons, to create this unique Hibiki. Savor the aroma redolent of flowers, the mellow, harmonious flavor, and the long-lasting richly sweet aftertaste.
