Production Notes
The production of Hibiki Japanese Harmony Whisky involves meticulous work. This premium whisky is the product of a blend of malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries and grain whisky from the Chita distillery. The whiskies are matured in various types of cask, including American white oak barrels, sherry casks, and the rare Japanese oak (Mizunara), contributing to its multi-layered flavor profile. The blend is then carefully brought together by Suntory’s Master Blenders, creating a symphony of flavors and aromas that have come to be associated with the Hibiki name.
