Hibiki, meaning “resonance” was launched in 1989 to commemorate Suntory’s 90th anniversary, and has ever since been embraced as the paragon of The Art of Japanese Whisky, the very product of Japanese nature and her people. A new expression called "Japanese Harmony", with no age statement, was introduced in 2015. The new blend was said to use the same malt and grain whiskies used in the first Hibiki blend, being a blend of at least 10 malt and grain whiskies from three distilleries, aged in five different cask types, with some elements aged up to approximately 20 years.

An appropriately beautiful bottling of Hibiki 21 Year Old blended whisky. This release was designed to celebrate and show off the the glory of Japanese nature, which is fairly clear from the label.The Mars Shinshu distillery is Japan’s highest distillery, which may or may not have an effect upon the character of the whisky–you be the judge. It is located in the Japanese Alps, and has been making whisky since 1949 (it was originally located on the island of Kyushu). Iwai is perhaps the best known expression from Mars, a blended whisky that comes in various iterations. But there are also some single malts, such as Komagatake. The 2021 edition was aged in bourbon and sherry casks, while the new 2022 edition is made from a blend of peated and unpeated barley and has added port barrels to the maturation formula. This new release is also a shift from more limited runs of this single malt to ongoing annual release status. When it comes to making an authentic Japanese highball, attention to detail is all important: everything needs to be just right. The right glass, the right whisky, the right soda and even the right kind of ice. For the whisky, you can’t go wrong with The Chita from Suntory.
