The Legacy of the House of Suntory Whisky
Hibiki Japanese Harmony is more than just a whisky; it’s a testament to the unrivaled art of blending that the House of Suntory Whisky has perfected over decades.
Founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1923, the House of Suntory has grown from a single distillery to a world-renowned producer of some of the world’s finest whiskies.
This rich heritage is infused into every Hibiki bottle, making it a drink and a celebration of Suntory’s 90th anniversary.
The House of Suntory is famous for its meticulous blend of the finest select whiskies, and Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a prime example of this dedication to excellence.
Crafted by Shinji Fukuyo, the fourth Chief Blender, Hibiki Harmony is a symphony of flavors that captures the essence of Japanese whisky.
The Art of Blending: A Paragon of Japanese Whisky
What sets Hibiki Japanese Harmony apart is its harmonious blend of innumerous malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries.
Each whisky is carefully chosen to contribute to the overall harmony of this blend, creating a perfect balance of flavors that is both complex and approachable.
The key malts used in this blend include American white oak malt whiskies, sherry malt whiskies, and the rare Mizunara (Japanese oak) cask whiskies.
These whiskies are aged in different casks, each adding unique character to the blend. The result is a whisky with a solid base, further complexity, and a harmonious balance that is simply unparalleled.
A Symphony of Flavors: The Taste of Hibiki Japanese Harmony
From the moment you bring the glass to your lips, Hibiki Japanese Harmony envelops you in a symphony of flavors that are as delicate as bold.
The liquid smells of rosemary, and the aromas of rose and hibiscus invite you into a world of subtleties that only the finest Japanese whiskies can offer.
You’ll find a delightful mix of honey-like sweetness, orange peel, and hints of white chocolate on the palate.
These flavors are beautifully balanced by the mature woodiness from the different casks used in the blend. A subtle hint of Japanese oak adds a rare Mizunara character to the whisky.
As you savor each sip, you’ll notice the tender long finish, with lingering hints of Mizunara and a soft, honeylike sweetness that lingers on the tongue.
This delicate sip finishes with a harmonious balance of all the flavors, leaving you with a sense of luxury that is hard to match.
