The House of Suntory, Founding House of Japanese Whisky, has partnered with Kyoto Kimono House Chiso for the launch of the Hibiki Japanese Harmony 2026 Limited Edition.
Founded in 1555, Chiso transforms its 470-year legacy of the kimono into a bespoke floral design for Hibiki's bottle, inspired by Japan's changing seasons.
Hibiki's iconic 24-faceted bottle (representing Japan's 24 traditional micro-seasons), is this time adorned with vibrant jewel-toned floral motifs featuring tachibana, (evergreen citrus) symbolizing enduring prosperity; kiri (paulownia), representing good fortune and nobility; sakura (cherry blossoms), celebrating the beauty of the seasons and renewal; and ume (plum blossoms) and tsubaki (camellias), emblems of longevity and timeless vitality.
Adorned with rich gold, crimson, emerald, indigo, and soft blush accents, the bottle is also a homage to the shared mastery and uncompromising craftsmanship that have defined both houses for centuries.
Hibiki Japanese Harmony is said to have notes of:
- Color: Amber
- Nose: Honey-like sweetness, candied orange peel, white chocolate
- Taste: Rose, lychee, hint of rosemary, mature woodiness, sandalwood
- Finish: Subtle, tender long finish, with hint of Mizunara (Japanese oak)
The Hibiki narrative unfolds further at the Hibiki Masterpiece of Artistry Pop-Up Experience, hosted at the ION Orchard L1 Atrium from October 22 to 25, 2026, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the house’s legacy of design and whisky craft.
Bottled at 43% ABV, the Hibiki Japanese Harmony 2026 Limited-Edition, Chiso Collaboration, will b available in Singapore from Oct. 1, with an MSRP of S$240. It will be also available for purchase via hibiki's website.
