Whisky in perfect harmony

Hibiki Japanese Whisky

Now the official sponsor of The Sumo Tournament at the Royal Albert Hall!

Hibiki and Sumo: Japan in spirit

Hibiki means ‘resonance’ in Japanese. It’s a whisky, a bottle, and a brand that does just that. It resonates.

And it has done for decades. The brand was launched in 1989 to celebrate 60 years of parent company Suntory, the original Japanese whisky maker. Two true whisky legends – master blender Keizo Saji and chief blender Kochi Inatomi – created the first blend. It’s said Inatomi tasted over a million casks during his long career. The pair selected 30 malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita grain distillery.


Today, Hibiki is represented by its signature whisky Harmony, but the range extends to extraordinary aged expressions such as Hibiki 21 Year Old and Hibiki 30 Year Old.

The brand is now lending its good name to Japan’s national sport: Sumo. Hibiki Japanese Whisky is a proud sponsor of The Sumo Tournament at the Royal Albert Hall. It’s two true Japanese giants blended together, you could say, in perfect harmony.

Hibiki 21 Year Old

Hibiki 21 has won so many awards, it could use an Academy Award as a bookend if it wanted to. When you taste it, you’ll understand. Few whiskies manage to have this depth, with this poise. It should be on every whisky drinker’s bucket list.
