Hibiki Blender's Choice Blended Japanese Whisky
Out of stock
Hibiki Blender’s Choice is a Japanese blended whisky produced by the House of Suntory and bottled at 43% ABV. Introduced in 2018, the release was created by Suntory’s master blenders as a modern addition to the Hibiki range, offering a more accessible expression while maintaining the brand’s signature harmony and balance.
The blend brings together malt whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries alongside grain whisky from Chita, all carefully married to achieve a refined and layered profile. Part of the whisky was matured in wine casks, which contributes additional depth, colour and subtle red-fruit character to the final blend.
The iconic 24-faceted Hibiki bottle represents the traditional Japanese calendar’s 24 seasons, reflecting the brand’s philosophy of harmony with nature and craftsmanship in blending.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm amber-gold with coppery highlights and a hint of ruby from wine-cask maturation.
Nose
Wild raspberry, white peach and pineapple rise in a vibrant fruit bouquet, lifted by a creamy crème brûlée nuance. The nose hints at plush sweetness and a silky confectionery warmth, inviting further exploration.
Palate
Apricot compote guides the palate, its sweetness expanding into ripe fruit with a buoyant lift of acidity. Subtle wine-cask influence adds red-fruit depth and nuance, while a pleasant tartness keeps the balance lively. A refined, lingering sweetness frames a graceful, polished finish.
Finish
Softly sweet with a subtle, lingering bitter note, ending in a refined, balanced aftertaste.
