The Art of Japanese Whisky

HIBIKI 40 Years Old

in pursuit of perfection

Hibiki is the paragon of Japanese whisky, born in pursuit of perfect harmony through the art of blending. Developed and refined over 100 years at The House of Suntory, this artform reaches its nexus with the release of Hibiki 40 Years Old. This stunning blend comprises five supremely aged whiskies that each offer a taste of ancient Japan to the world.

A New Pinnacle of Japanese Whisky

With the passing of forty seasonal cycles and the care of three generations of Chief Blenders, the whiskies have drawn intense character from Mizunara, Spanish and American oak casks. Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo’s skillful touch has transformed these rich whiskies into an exquisitely subdued blend. The spirit of omotenashi and serenity of Japanese temples finds expression in this delicate composition, where everything is in perfect balance.

harnessing nature’s resonance

Hibiki, meaning “resonance”, honors the harmony between nature and Japanese people that embodies the heart of The House of Suntory.

Inspired by the 24 seasons of Japan, our Hibiki range captures nature’s subtleties and riches through the art of blending. As nature runs its course, it infuses each of the liquids with enchanting qualities that resonate deep within.
