Torii, the founder of Suntory distillery, drew inspiration from traditional Scottish whisky but envisioned a unique Japanese style by selecting a terrain and climate distinct from Scotland. Situated in the outskirts of Kyoto, the region boasts one of the purest waters in Japan and a diverse temperature range that facilitates optimal cask aging, known as the "Suntory Maturation." Hibiki, the distillery's signature blend, features a harmonious combination of malt and grain whiskies expertly blended to create exquisite flavors and aromas. The 17 Year Old variant, a Gold winner at the International Spirits Challenge, offers a light, fruity, and refreshing sip, perfect for summer evenings.
