Hibiki is not only Japan’s most highly awarded blended whisky, but among the most prestigious and honoured whiskies in the world and the range consists of The Harmony (released in 2015) 12 , 17, 21 and 30 year old all of which are becoming increasingly more difficult to source due to the increase in demand for Japanese whisky.

Even the presence of purple is deliberate, for it’s regarded as Japan's most noble color, and so a purple ribbon encircles the neck of each elegant decanter bottle accordingly. Hibiki 12 Year Old blended Japanese whisky is a gem among whisky enthusiasts, showcasing the art of Japanese whisky blending at its finest. Suntory Hibiki Whisky is the epitome of light-yet-decadent, flavour-filled notes of zesty orange peel and fresh apricots which are married together by seductive white chocolate and a spicy black pepper and cinnamon balance that keeps you coming back for more.
