Hibiki 40 Year Old

HED00153 70cl 43%
Hibiki is Suntory’s premium blend of Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita Japanese whiskies, first introduced in 1989 to commemorate Suntory’s 90th anniversary. Though the exact components of the blend remain undisclosed, it is known that previous iterations have included unique elements, such as umeshu-aged Yamazaki single malts. Hibiki has since become a symbol of craftsmanship in Japanese whisky, embodying the delicate balance of Suntory`s finest distilleries.

The Hibiki 40 Year Old is presented in a luxurious crystal decanter adorned with a maki-e mother of pearl inlay and gold lacquer, highlighting its premium status. This exclusive release is housed in a handcrafted wooden box made from 12 varieties of Japanese woods, including pine and zelkova. The box features 12 faces, symbolising the months of the year, and is decorated with seasonal flowers and plants, reflecting Japan’s four distinct seasons.

Hibiki

Launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory’s 90th anniversary, Hibiki is Japan’s most prolifically awarded blended whisky. ‘Hibiki’ translates as resonance in Japanese and reflects the company’s philosophy of living in harmony with people and nature, with the 24 seasons of the ancient Japanese calendar, for example, referenced in the 24 facets of Hibiki whisky’s bottle design, which is elegantly rendered on handcrafted Echizen paper.

The Hibiki Whisky range is a testament to the art of blending, with Yamazaki and Hakashu malt whiskies and Chita grain whisky blended with unparalleled attention to detail and craftsmanship by Hibiki master blender Shinji Fukuyo. The core Hibiki range includes the flagship Hibiki Japanese Harmony, along with Hibiki 12 Years Old, Hibiki 17 Years Old, Hibiki 21 Years Old, and Hibiki 30 Years Old.
