If ever there was a brand that truly deserves the respect of making whisky drinking into a prestigious occasion, it’s Hibiki. This premium brand is one of the most impressive in the world and is one you’ll want to appreciate slowly. Originally making its debut in 1989, Hibiki is a blend of various malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. Chief blender of Suntory, Shinji Fukuyo, noted that the team took on the challenge of crafting a new blend with “meticulous precision” to celebrate the milestone.

Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. The Hakushu (白州) malt portion of the Hibiki blend is savory, mildly peaty, and crisp. Hakushu malt is known for its apple-like flavor, herbal notes, and mineral finish. The whisky offers ‘refined and elegant’ notes of kumquat and jasmine with Japanese incense, with subtly sweet and floral hints combined with spiced sandalwood and agarwood on the palate. Hibiki, like everything else produced under the Suntory house of brands, was first inspired by Scotch whisky’s rugged yet complex nature. With a similar amber coloring but a more delicate crafting, Hibiki pulls together the best of traditional whisky with a refined edge.Schrieberg, Felipe.
