Hibiki means “Resonance” in Japanese. From its launch in 1989 to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Suntory, Hibiki embodies the Suntory philosophy to live in Harmony with nature and people. As the Founding House of Japanese Whisky and A House of Master Blenders, the House of Suntory has gone to great lengths to explore the breadth and depth of what Harmony can mean for a blend. Every Hibiki expression is one of the most sought-after blends in the world, and every Hibiki expression is meticulously crafted for us to discover a different kind of Harmony. Achieving the right balance and orchestration proved a great challenge since the Sakura cask has a strong character that can easily become overbearing.
One of the hallmarks of Japanese whisky is the meticulous distillation process. Many distilleries use pot stills and practice various aging techniques in different types of casks, including Mizunara oak, which imparts a rich, complex character. This dedication to craftsmanship yields a whisky that offers layers of flavor, from subtle fruit and floral notes to deeper, smoky undertones.
Japanese whisky offers something for every palate, whether you prefer a light, floral whisky or a rich, smoky blend. Its versatility makes it perfect for sipping neat, enjoying on the rocks, or as the base for sophisticated cocktails. As Japanese whisky continues to rise in popularity, it has become a must-try for any whisky connoisseur.
