- Japan, 700ml
Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a refined blended whisky from the House of Suntory—an elegant marriage of malt and grain from Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. Crafted with pristine mountain water and patient maturation across American oak, sherry and Mizunara casks, it’s silky, floral and impeccably balanced—luxury in a 24-facet decanter, perfect for gifting.
Tasting Notes & Experience
A lifted bouquet of rose and lychee with hints of rosemary, sandalwood and delicate oak. The palate glides with honeyed sweetness, candied orange peel and white chocolate, framed by gentle herbs and citrus. It lingers long, subtle and serene, with whispers of green tea and Mizunara spice, a soft ember of smoke and immaculate balance.

Cocktail Pairings
Shine its elegance in a Japanese Highball (ultra-cold soda and glass for fine bubbles); a Harmony Old Fashioned with a light hand on sweetness; a Yuzu Whisky Sour to lift citrus; or a Boulevardier-style riff where Mizunara’s spice meets bittersweet vermouth and amaro. For effortless hospitality, pour over one clear rock with an orange twist.
Craftsmanship & Story
Launched in 1989 to mark Suntory’s 90th anniversary, Hibiki embodies Japanese harmony—meticulous blending of multiple malt and grain components, pristine alpine water and patient maturation. Its 24-facet decanter nods to the traditional solar terms of the Japanese calendar, reflecting seasonality, precision and quiet luxury.
Special Features
Signature Mizunara oak accents (incense, sandalwood, green tea), gently herbal smoke, and an exquisitely polished texture. The iconic decanter elevates any bar cart, while the approachable, silk-lined profile makes this a versatile pour for connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
