Hibiki Mellow Harmony

Suntory are one of the founding fathers of Japanese whisky, established by Shinjirō Torii in 1899 as a wine store in Osaka. The venture was hugely successful, and the company was renamed Kotobukiya in 1921, which built its first distillery three years later, Yamazaki. 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.

Hibiki Mellow Harmony is a blend of over ten malts and grains featuring Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita all aged in five types of cask.

This was an addition to the Hibiki range with the concept of the whisky originating around the 17 year old Hibiki with additional Yamazaki and 30 year old Chita grain whisky added.
