The legacy of Hibiki
Since its creation in 1989, Hibiki has become the very symbol of Japanese harmony in whisky. Produced by Suntory, Japan’s oldest and most prestigious whisky house (founded in 1899), Hibiki represents the art of blending at its highest level. Unlike a single malt, Hibiki is crafted from a wide array of malt whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu, married with delicate grain whisky from Chita.
What sets Hibiki apart is not only its flavour, but its philosophy. Every edition is designed to embody the Japanese pursuit of balance and beauty, harmony in aroma, taste and even in presentation. The bottle, with its 24 facets, symbolises the 24 Japanese seasons, while the label is made from handmade Echizen washi paper, adding a cultural and artistic depth to every release.
The rarity of Hibiki 30 Years Old
The Hibiki 30 Years Old is the crown jewel of the range, a whisky so rare and refined that it has reached near-mythical status among collectors. Matured for three decades, it offers a complexity that few whiskies on earth can rival: notes of dried plums, rich dark chocolate, leather and sweet oriental spices, unfolding into a finish that is endlessly elegant.
With only a very limited number of bottles released each year, Hibiki 30 Years Old has won some of the highest accolades in the whisky world, including multiple gold medals at international competitions. Its scarcity, combined with its exquisite flavour profile, makes it one of the most coveted Japanese whiskies ever produced.
Why This Release is Unparalleled
While Hibiki is always about harmony, the 30 Years Old is harmony perfected. It represents the absolute pinnacle of Suntory’s blending artistry – generations of knowledge distilled into a liquid symphony. To taste it is to experience a whisky that is as much an artwork as it is a drink, a rare moment where craftsmanship, tradition and time align.
