Picture a quiet morning in Japan, mist over still water, the soft rustle of trees, and the delicate scent of cherry blossoms in the air. That same sense of calm and balance lives in every drop of Hibiki. The Hibiki Harmony Master’s Select is a special creation, reserved for those who travel and seek more than just a souvenir. It’s a deeper, more expressive rendition of the original Harmony blend, crafted by Suntory’s master blenders as an ode to refinement, detail, and Japanese artistry in liquid form.

Hibiki Harmony Master’s Select 70cl
Brand: Suntory Hibiki | Category: Blended Japanese Whisky | ABV: 43% | Origin: Japan | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Like stepping into a peaceful flower market, white peach, wild honey, fresh pear, and soft hints of sandalwood drift together in harmony.
Palate: Silky and layered, it opens with honey and orange marmalade before evolving into richer notes of dark fruit, caramel, and a whisper of Mizunara oak spice. There’s a gentle warmth to it, like golden light through rice paper.
Finish: Refined and smooth, it fades slowly with a soft touch of spice, dried plum, and the faintest echo of incense.

Production Details:
This Master’s Select is a travel-exclusive expression that builds upon the base Harmony blend by incorporating a higher portion of malt whisky aged in sherry casks, alongside those matured in Mizunara and American oak. It’s crafted with whiskies from Suntory’s three renowned distilleries, Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita, blended with care to emphasize richness without weight. Every decision in its creation speaks to precision, grace, and restraint.

Perfect For:
This isn’t just for pouring, it’s for savoring. Think: a slow evening on a rooftop, a gift exchanged between close friends, or a celebration of something personal. It’s ideal for winding down in quiet luxury, where each sip feels like an exhale.

Expert Notes:
Hibiki Master’s Select has earned praise for elevating the smooth and floral character of Harmony into something more textured and mature. It’s a favorite among collectors and travelers alike for its approachability with added depth, a “next step” in the Hibiki range.

Customer Reviews:
“Elegant, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. I bring one home every time I travel.”
“Feels like a bottle that understands patience. Not loud, just… beautifully composed.”
“The deeper fruit and oak make it my favorite Hibiki. I just wish it wasn’t so hard to find.”

Interesting Fact:
Each bottle of Hibiki features 24 facets on its glass, a tribute to the 24 Japanese seasons, reflecting Suntory’s belief that whisky, like nature, changes and evolves with time.

Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat in a tulip glass to capture its delicate aroma, or with a single cube of ice to soften and reveal its floral depth. A drop of water can tease out more citrus and spice. Perfect for slow sipping after dinner or shared in quiet conversation.

Distillery Background:
Suntory’s commitment to harmony, between nature, craftsmanship, and time, is embodied in every Hibiki release. Founded in the early 20th century, the company now draws from three iconic distilleries, each with a distinct character. Hibiki represents their blended vision, where malt and grain unite seamlessly. Master’s Select is their whispered expression, subtle, refined, and quietly unforgettable.
