Whisky is an essential part of the Japanese drinking culture and Japanese are particularly careful when it comes to the creation of an artwork. The statement may seem surprising, but it is historically easy to explain. As early as 1924 began Mr. Torii, founder of Suntory, with the whisky production. The founder of Suntory, Shinjiro Torii, opened its first retail store Torii Shoten, the imported wines sold in February 1899 in Osaka. In 1924 he began beyond the production of Single Malt Whisky. During this time, the first time the name Suntory has been used as a brand name. Today s distillery is located in Kyoto, whose environment has a versatile air and high humidity. When he established the first distillery in Yamazaki Japan sink outside Kyoto, he could not foresee the promising future this whisky should have series in the best dreams. In 1929 he presented his first distillate under the name Shirofuda. The Suntory Hibiki is one of the worlds best premium blended whiskys. Hibiki, which means in Japanese harmony, is a master blend of carefully selected 35 full-bodied malt and grain whiskys, which rested many years in different barrel types and care for his multiple award-winning complex aroma and a special taste experience. These whiskys are matured in different barrels and are blinded to each other at the end, and then mature six more months in barrel. A portion of the blend matured in barrels made of very rare Japanese Mizunara oak. The world famous and best-selling Suntory Hibiki 17 years stands out with its soft, full-bodied flavor and its lightweight peatiness, tropical fruit and caramel determine the delicate and complex flavor and he was honored by Whisky Magazine as Gold Editors Choice, won the World Whisky Awards and was of the International Wine and Spirits Competition repeatedly provided with awards. The 24 facets of the bottle of Hibiki Premium Blended malt whiskys symbolize the 24 seasons that we know from the ancient tradition of Sekki, the old Japanese calendar. The Suntory Hibiki malt whisky is certainly one of the best blended malts, which are currently available worldwide and represents the peak of Japanese Whisky Art.
