The Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a highly regarded and popular blended whisky produced by Suntory, Japan's first whisky producer. This flagship blend is a harmonious mixture of 10 different malt and grain whiskies, aged in 5 different casks at the Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries in Japan. The whiskies are drawn from 5 different types of cask, including American white oak casks, Sherry casks, and Mizunara oak casks.
The Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a blend of malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, as well as grain whisky from the Chita distillery. The whiskies are meticulously blended by the Suntory Whisky blending team, led by Master Blender Shingo Torii, to create a full orchestra of flavors and aromas. The result is an elegant expression, with wafts of honey, orange, a herbaceous touch, and light oak.
The Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a subtle, noble, and harmonious blend, and a perfect introduction to Japanese whisky and the award-winning House of Suntory Whisky. It is presented in a trademark 24-faceted bottle representing the Japanese seasons, and the bottle design reflects the Suntory Corporate philosophy to "live in harmony with people and nature." The name Hibiki literally means "resonance" in Japanese, and celebrates Japanese nature and the subtleties found in the 24 seasons of the traditional calendar.

The Hibiki Japanese Harmony is pale amber in color, with a delicate scent of polished copper and light vanilla, developing complex floral, green, mossy then fresh oaky notes. It has a surprisingly dry mouthfeel, and a lightly sweet, then chilli-pepper taste, at full strength, mellowing with a little water, leaving a charred, oaky aftertaste.
Some might like to try enjoying Hibiki Harmony in the Japanese way, called mizuwari, i.e. 'cut with water' or highball, cut with soda. The latter is simply a variation on the 'Scotch & soda' so popular with our forebears, but with typical panache, the Japanese attach a ritual to making it.
