Product Description

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 resonaties 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 nwhiskies from Suntory's globally acclaimed Yamazaki, Hakushi and Chita distilleries. These whiskies are meticulously blended to create a sendse of "wa" -- a oneness which unveila a full orchestra of flavors and aroma. Hibiki is embraces as an icon of Japanese luxury from the award winning House of Suntory Whisky. The 100th year anniversary limited edition design of Hibiki Japanese Harmony features a bridge with the traditional Japanese art of Setsugekka -- snow, smoon and flowers juxtaposed to showcase the passage of seasons, connecting our past and future in hopes that the tradition and history will never be forgotten, always to be respected and lasted even as we look forward to our future. Wraped around the bottle of 24 facets -- representing 24 hours in a day with 24 seasons in a year -- the time that has allowed us to sense and appreciate the harmony created by and with people and nature. The celebration of the 100th Anniversary goes beyond the whisky as we pay tribute to our unique design approach that brings "Monozukuri" craftsmanship to life and grounds it as part of Japanese culture. This same relentless pusuit for quality, ingenuity and expressiveness, has inspired the design of these centennial limited editions. The print bottle series of Hibiki is intended to bring the Japanese people's emotional connection to the distinctive seasonality and their appreciation and incorporation to everyday life, which deeply resonates and inspires Hibiki. A truly special Hibiki to be savored for a special moment in your life. Tasting Notes COLOR: amber NOSE: rose, lychee, hint of rosemary, mature woodiness, sandalwood PALATE: honeylike sweetness, candied orange peel, white chocolate FINISH: subtle, tender long finish, with hint of Mizunara (Japanese oak)

Review of Hibiki Japanese HarmonyButtery and creamy on the nose, … though the herbal notes intensify over time. … This expression has a fantastic texture, balancing soft fruits, fudge sweetness, and citrus, to finish with sweet melon, icing sugar, and a dynamic spiciness.
Review of Hibiki Japanese HarmonyPoised and complex, with typically lifted fruitiness: strawberry ice cream, pineapple, peach, balanced by delicate oak, bamboo shoot-like delicacy, then lemon. … Exemplary blending skills and classically Hibiki.
