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 on 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 reasons of Japan’s traditional calendar and reflected in the twenty-four facets of its bottle’s designs.
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 created a sense of “wa” – a oneness which unveils a full orchestra of flavours and aroma.
Suntory Hibiki 17 Year Old Blended Japanese Whisky is amber in colour. The nose hints peach, apricot, melon, rose, lily, lemon leaf. On the palate is Toffee, black cherry, vanilla, and Mizunara (Japanese oak). The finish is sweet, fruity, with lychee aftertaste.
