Cuvée presentation

A blend of whiskies from Suntory''s three distilleries, Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita (for the grain whisky). Hibiki 21 Year Old is a highly prized blend and an icon of the group''s work. Launched in 1989, its iconic 24-facet bottle, referencing Japan''s 24 seasons, and its appearance in Sofia Coppola''s film Lost in Translation have made it particularly popular among enthusiasts and the general public. Most versions with age statements were discontinued in response to the high demand created by this success and an increased general interest in Japanese whisky.

The distillery Suntory

Suntory was founded by Shinjirō Torii, who, after learning about foreign alcohols during an apprenticeship with a pharmacist, decided to open a wine cellar named Torii Shoten in 1899. He first experienced success as a wine merchant with his flagship product Akadama Port Wine, launched in 1907. His business took the name Kotobukiya in 1921, two years before the construction of Japan’s first distillery, Yamazaki (1923), halfway between Kyoto and Osaka. Japan’s first real whisky was released in 1929 under the name Shirofuda (“white label”), followed in 1937 by the famous Kakubin. The group’s name was changed to Suntory in 1963. In the 1970s, under the direction of Shinjirō Torii’s son Keizo Saiji, two new distilleries were built, the Chita grain distillery in 1972 and Hakushu in 1973, 50 years after Yamazaki was first founded. In 1984, the first widely available Japanese single malt was released, Yamazaki 12 Year Old. 1989 saw the launch of another iconic whisky, the blend Hibiki. After buying Morrison Bowmore in 1994 and Beam in 2014, Suntory (now Beam Suntory) became one of the world’s largest whisky groups, with distilleries in Japan, America and Scotland, including Glen Garioch, Laphroaig and Bowmore.
