The Hibiki Harmony is a blended Japanese whisky produced by the Suntory Distillery, one of the oldest and most prestigious whisky distilleries in Japan. The whisky is a blend of several malt and grain whiskies that have been aged in a combination of American white oak casks, Sherry casks, and Mizunara oak casks. This complex aging process gives the Hibiki Harmony a unique and well-balanced flavor profile, with notes of honey, vanilla, and fruit. The whisky is bottled at 43% ABV and is non-chill filtered, which helps to preserve its natural flavors and aromas. The Hibiki Harmony has won several awards, including a gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge in 2016. The whisky is highly regarded by whisky enthusiasts around the world and is considered one of the best examples of Japanese blended whisky.

About the Hibiki Harmony

Hibiki Japanese Harmony is a signature blend from Suntory—the House of Hibiki—introduced in 2015 to replace earlier Hibiki expressions like the 12‑ and 17‑year bottles. It brought together whiskies from three Suntory distilleries: Yamazaki and Hakushu (malts) and Chita (grain). The blend usually consists of ten whiskies aged across five kinds of wood casks, including rare Japanese Mizunara oak. This whisky is bottled at 43 % ABV, chill‑filtered, and with added natural colouring. Despite being no‑age‑statement, many of its component whiskies are said to be aged around 10 years, though this is not confirmed. The liquid aims to capture the concept of harmony in flavour and craftsmanship. In your glass, it shows a luminous amber‑gold tone. On the nose, expect a floral and fragrant bouquet: rose petals, lychee, orange blossom, honey, matured oak and sandalwood. Some reviewers note light herbal or jasmine hints too. On the palate, Harmony reveals a smooth, silky texture. Flavours include almond, apricot, nougat, dried fruit, coconut cream, and nutty sweetness. Vanilla and a touch of spice develop toward the finish. The finish is medium‑length, refined and balanced. It features lingering honey-like fruit, light oak tannin, and subtle spice with a whisper of Mizunara oak. Hibiki Japanese Harmony has earned international praise and awards despite its youth. It earned Double Gold at the 2015 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Gold at the International Spirits Competition. Critics and whiskey fans consistently rate it highly for balance and accessibility. This blend is ideal for drinkers seeking a smooth, floral, and refined whisky. It works well neat, with gentle dilution, or in a highball where its delicate profile shines. The distinctive 24‑faceted bottle reflects Japanese tradition and the concept of time and seasons.
