Description

The same award-winning Hibiki Japanese Harmony liquid — multi-distillery Suntory blend of malt and grain whiskies — in the 2021 Ryusui-Hyakka limited edition bottle featuring intricate floral patterns inspired by the Japanese artistic concept of flowing water and flowers in bloom.

Hibiki Japanese Harmony is Suntory’s no-age-statement blended whisky — a carefully assembled combination of malt whiskies from Yamazaki and Hakushu with Chita grain whisky, matured in American white oak, Spanish oak, and rare Mizunara Japanese oak. It is designed to showcase the “harmony” the Hibiki name promises: no single distillery or cask type dominates, each component contributing to a balanced, inviting expression accessible to whisky enthusiasts at all levels.

The Ryusui-Hyakka — meaning “flowing water, one hundred flowers” in Japanese — is one of several annual limited edition bottle designs Suntory produces for the Hibiki Harmony expression. Each design draws from Japan’s artistic and natural heritage, presented in the signature 24-facet Hibiki bottle representing the 24 sekki micro-seasons of the traditional Japanese lunar calendar. The 2021 Ryusui-Hyakka features vibrant floral patterns with gold accents, making it one of the most visually striking Hibiki limited editions produced.
