Suntory Hibiki Harmony Ryusui Hakka (2021)

An artistic fusion of nature and craftsmanship, Suntory Hibiki Harmony Ryusui Hakka (2021) celebrates the timeless Japanese philosophy of harmony and the beauty of flowing water. Translating to “One Hundred Streams and White Waves,” Ryusui Hakka symbolises the delicate balance and perpetual movement of nature—captured through an exquisite bottle design that reflects Japan’s reverence for water as the source of life and spirit. Within this limited-edition expression lies the signature Hibiki Japanese Harmony blend—crafted from select malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries, matured in a range of casks including American white oak, sherry, and Mizunara. The result is a whisky that embodies serenity, balance, and refinement.

Suntory Hibiki Harmony Ryusui Hakka (2021) is not merely a whisky—it is a work of art in both form and spirit. A celebration of purity, movement, and balance, crafted for those who find beauty in nature’s quiet rhythm and the elegance of Japanese design.
