Hibiki is a premium blended whisky from Japanese distiller Suntory.[1] It is a premium-category product, and has won several awards.[2]

"Hibiki" means "resonance"[3] or "echo" in Japanese.

The brand is available in several expressions, including the following:[4]

  • Hibiki 12, 17, 21, and 30 years old, aged in umeshu casks.[5]
  • Hibiki Japanese Harmony, a blend of 10 malt and grain whiskies from three distilleries, aged in five different cask types (no age statement)[6]
