Hibiki

Hibiki is a Japanese word meaning "echo" or "sound," written with the kanji 響. It is used in various contexts in Japanese culture and can also be a given name.

Hibiki (Japanese whisky) refers to a premium blended whisky produced by the Suntory company in Japan. It was introduced in 1989 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Suntory's founding. The blend combines malt whisky from Suntory’s Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries with grain whisky from the Chita distillery, then harmoniously married in a variety of cask types. The bottle is notable for its 24 facets, which symbolize the 24 seasons of the Japanese calendar.

The Hibiki line includes several expressions, most prominently Hibiki Harmony, a non-age-statement blend, along with aged expressions such as Hibiki 17 Year Old and Hibiki 21 Year Old. These expressions reflect different levels of maturation and complexity, and they are distributed internationally as part of Suntory’s premium whisky portfolio. Hibiki whiskies have received numerous awards and are widely regarded as among the leading premium Japanese whiskies.
