Released exclusively in Japan on September 4, 2018, Hibiki Blender’s Choice is a refined no-age-statement (NAS) whisky that showcases the depth and elegance of Suntory’s masterful blending. As the third NAS expression in the Hibiki core range, alongside Hibiki Japanese Harmony and Hibiki Japanese Harmony Master’s Select, this whisky quickly gained recognition among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Crafted from malt and grain whiskies drawn from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries, it also incorporates wine cask-aged whisky, enhancing the fruit-forward complexity and luxurious mouthfeel.

Hibiki

Introduced in 1989 to mark Suntory’s 90th anniversary, the Hibiki range represents the pinnacle of Japanese whisky artistry. Known for its balance, refinement, and the iconic 24-faceted bottle symbolising the Japanese seasons, Hibiki has become synonymous with harmony and craftsmanship. The Blender’s Choice release continues this tradition, highlighting Suntory’s ability to innovate while maintaining the signature Hibiki character.
