There are currently four Hibiki products on sale.
HIBIKI Japanese Harmony
Gorgeous, soft flavours. A beautifully balanced harmony that is unique to Japanese whisky.
HIBIKI Blenders’ Choice
A delicate blend of carefully selected and masterfully crafted wines of a wide range of ages, matured in a wide variety of casks. The result is a deep, sweet taste and a gorgeous, soft aroma. The addition of post-maturing wine barrels creates a harmonious blend of gems.
HIBIKI 17 years (on hiatus)
Due to the increasing demand for domestic whisky and the long time it takes to secure enough undiluted whisky, Hibiki 17 Year is no longer available since September 2018.
HIBIKI 21 years
The malt is a carefully selected blend of very long matured malts, over 21 years old. The grain is also carefully selected and blended with mature grain that is over 21 years old. The result is a sumptuous harmony of different types of raw materials that only Suntory can produce.
HIBIKI 30 years
It is a rare and precious limited edition, with only a few thousand bottles produced annually. The malt must be at least 30 years old and carefully selected from Suntory’s secret collection of ultra-long maturation barrels. The malt is carefully selected from Suntory’s own ultra-long maturation barrels and blended with mature grain barrels that are at least 30 years old. The result is a jewel of luxury.
