Hibiki Whisky
Bring Japanese elegance to your collection with our range of Hibiki whisky at The Whisky World. The Suntory distillery, one of the world’s few mountain distilleries, is inherently connected to nature. Not just in its surroundings but in the ingredients it uses, this Japanese distillery sources spring water from the Southern Alps it is nestled within to create its whisky. These origins are obvious in the Hibiki whisky. Its name, meaning ‘resonance’, its flavour and spirit resonate with nature and the elements of the twenty-four seasons of the ancient Japanese lunar calendar. Explore more from Suntory’s excellent distillery with our collections of Yamazaki and Hakushu whisky.
Hibiki is Suntory’s famous blend of malt and grain whiskies, creating a truly unique tasting experience that draws on its mountain heritage from bottling to finish. Every bottle of Hibiki comes from a meticulously crafted process by the finest master distillers at Japan’s oldest distilleries, and we’re proud to feature it in our collection. Bring new flavours to your collection and share with fellow enthusiasts, or simply enjoy yourself.
What makes Hibiki one of the world’s most awarded blended whiskies?
The unique craftsmanship of Hibiki blended whisky has given it a certain artistic reputation, celebrated by critics and collectors alike. Blending skills put into practice by master distillers at Suntory have been described as unparalleled and recognised by the World Whiskies Awards on multiple occasions. Hibiki has also been awarded several prizes at the International Spirits Challenge.
Why does the Hibiki bottle have 24 facets?
One thing Hibiki is famous for is its unique bottle design. All Hibiki bottles feature 24 facets, but those unfamiliar with Japanese culture have often wondered what they represent. The facets, in fact, are a delicate reference to both the 24 hours of the day and the 24 traditional seasons in the Japanese calendar. The deeper influence looks to celebrate the passage of time, natural harmony, and a visual connection between the distilling process and broader Japanese culture.
