Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2025 Blended Whisky

This is the fifth edition of the Hibiki Blossom Harmony series, a Limited Edition bottling released in 2025.
For the Blossom Harmony, the blenders at Suntory married Hibiki liquid with Sakura cask finished whisky, set to bring more of the same well-balanced, perfectly crafted whisky, but with a twist. The unique 24 faceted bottle represents 24 hours in a day, with 24 Japanese seasons in a year, the time that has allowed us to sense and appreciate the harmony created by and with people and nature.
The 2025 edition is inspired by the traditional Japanese technique of Yobitsugi, adorned with symbols of prosperity, such as the peacock and peony, and colourful floral motifs, it reflects both tradition and celebration.

    Nose:    Wafting fragrant, sakura, and fragrant olive.

    Taste:    Smooth mouthfeel, expanding fragrance, acacia honey, French pear and a refined sweetness suggestive of Sakura mochi.

    Finish:   Long-lasting rich and brilliant aftertaste.

Suntory are one of the founding fathers of Japanese whisky, established by Shinjirō Torii in 1899 as a wine store in Osaka. The distillery produced both malt and grain whiskies which the company blended together, releasing its first Suntory White Label in 1929, the resulting popularity of which saw the firm renamed after it 1963. Expansion in the next decade saw the company move its grain production to a new Chita distillery in 1972, and open a second malt distillery, Hakushu, the following year. Suntory today has a large stake in both the bourbon and Scotch whisky industry but remains at the forefront of its native whisky market too.
