The Hibiki brand was born in 1989 to commemorate Suntory's 90th anniversary. Its philosophy lies in the 'harmony between people and nature', aiming to create whiskies that reflect the essence of Japanese nature. The bottle design is deeply symbolic, with 24 facets representing the 24 solar terms of the traditional Japanese calendar, symbolizing the passage of time during the maturation process.

During blending, the Chief Blender carefully selects grain and malt whiskies aged for over 17 years. The use of Mizunara (Japanese oak) casks imparts notes of sandalwood and incense, a signature profile that has helped Japanese whisky stand out internationally. Due to supply shortages, Hibiki 17 was suspended from sale in 2018, making every remaining bottle incredibly rare and highly prized on the secondary market. Whether as an investment or for celebrating life's milestones, it is the ultimate choice.
