The Art of Blending

Hibiki Whisky was brought to life by the artisanship of blenders at the House of Suntory Whisky. The Master Blender tastes over 100 malt whisk samples, having final say on the subtle, refined, and complex flavors of Suntory whisky. "To become a blender at Suntory, one needs to be able to communicate with whiskies that can not speak." The words of founder Sinjiro Torii live in all Suntory blenders' minds. The Art of Blending is a continuous collaboration of blenders of the past and the future.

Rich in Japanese nature and craftsmanship

Hibiki ("Harmony" in Japanese) was born in 1989 to celebrate 90 years of Suntory Whisky. In 1987, Master Blender Keizo Saji decided to develop a blended whisky to reflect the sophistication of Suntory's techniques. Over his career, Chief Blender, Koichi Inatomi, sampled and tasted aged malt whiskies from one million casks at Suntory. Saji and Inatomi then found the flavor by blending thirty distinctive malt and mellow grain whiskies. Hibiki Whisky is a truly harmonious blend rich in Japanese nature and craftsmanship.
