Hibiki Blender’s Choice is a refined expression that celebrates the art of balance - a hallmark of the Hibiki name.

Designed exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, this exceptional blend reflects the philosophy and intuition of Suntory’s master blenders, bringing together whiskies aged in a wide variety of cask types, including American oak, sherry, and rare Mizunara.

The result is a whisky that’s both accessible and complex, layered with depth, yet effortlessly smooth. Each component has been selected not only for age, but for character, allowing the blend to showcase the full spectrum of Hibiki’s house style: floral, fruity, and delicately spiced, with a signature sense of harmony from nose to finish.

Presented in the iconic 24-faceted Hibiki bottle, inspired by the 24 seasons of the Japanese lunar calendar, Blender’s Choice is a rare chance to experience the blend closest to the hearts of Suntory’s master artisans.
