As expected, the Suntory Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2021 is smooth, gentle and moreish, with the light fruits and creaminess of Hibiki whisky merging seamlessly with the gentle floral tones and light spices imparted by the Sakura cask. The end result is a unique, memorable drinking experience and a whisky that is well worth telling your friends about.
Over the years, Hibiki whisky has picked up a plethora of awards at international spirits competitions around the world, even winning the most prestigious accolades on a number of occasions. The expressions are some of the smoothest you’ll find on the market today and the aromas and flavors inside each bottle work together in a harmonious fashion to create a drinking experience that is not easily forgotten.

The history of Suntory whisky and the history of Japanese whisky began by the fearless challenge undertaken Torii, who embarked on whisky-making after prevailing against the opposition he faced.
