Suntory Hibiki Blossom Harmony Whisky, 2022 Limited Edition
Hibiki meaning “Resonance” in Japanese, was created to honor Suntory’s philosophy
of living in harmony with people and nature.
When Harmony Blossoms
The Blossoms have always been an occasion for celebration in Japan, marking both the beginning and end of our traditional year. There are as many farewells as there are hellos, inspiring us to appreciate life as it blooms. Gathering around the flowering Sakura trees brings us closer together with those we love.
Hibiki Blossom Harmony captures this joyful intention. A rare selection of whiskies finished in sakura wood casks have been specially blended with diverse malt and grain whiskies, well matured over many seasons, to create this particular Hibiki. What results is a Hibiki created to remind us how precious life can be. To be shared with those who make us blossom.
Inspired by Sakura
The House of Suntory has been exploring and experimenting with various wood types for many years. The Sakura cask in particular was one that intrigued
Fifth Generation Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo.
