Hibiki japanese harmony suntory whisky a blended whisky from suntory this pulls in malt whisky from their yamazaki and hakushu distilleries and grain whisky from chita.
To be specific hibiki japanese harmony is made with malt whiskies from the yamazaki and hakushu distilleries as well as grain whisky from the chita distillery.
The hakushu blend which is exceptionally sweet and has notes of pine and earthy flavors not found in other peated whiskys like ardbeg or laphraoig is overwhelmed by the acidity and acridness of the yamazaki malt which tends to be more spicy.
Yamazaki and hakushu are both single malts hibiki is their blend and means harmony in japanese fitting for a blend.
