About Hibiki

Hibiki is Suntory's flagship blended Japanese whisky, launched in 1989 for the company's ninetieth anniversary, blended from malt and grain whiskies and bottled in a 24-faceted decanter representing the seasons of the traditional Japanese calendar. Demand outstripped aged stock, and several age-stated expressions were discontinued.
