Process & Profile
Hibiki Harmony Chiso Japanese Whisky Limited Edition is an extraordinary 2026 collectible release from the House of Suntory, celebrating the elegance of Japanese whisky and centuries of traditional Japanese artistry. Created in collaboration with Chiso, a renowned Kyoto kimono house established in 1555, this limited-edition expression brings together two celebrated Japanese institutions through an exquisite floral bottle design inspired by the changing seasons.
The collaboration transforms Hibiki's iconic 24-faceted bottle, representing Japan's 24 traditional seasonal periods, into a stunning display of color and symbolism. Drawing inspiration from Chiso's historic Kyo-Yuzen silk-dyeing techniques, the bottle features intricate floral illustrations in rich gold, crimson, emerald, indigo, and soft blush tones.
The artwork incorporates traditional Japanese motifs, including tachibana (evergreen citrus) symbolizing prosperity, kiri (paulownia) representing nobility and good fortune, sakura (cherry blossoms) celebrating renewal, and ume (plum blossoms) and tsubaki (camellias) symbolizing longevity and vitality.
Inside the beautifully decorated bottle is the celebrated Hibiki Japanese Harmony blend, combining carefully selected malt and grain whiskies from Suntory's Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries. Bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV), this refined Japanese whisky offers an elegant balance of floral aromas, delicate sweetness, gentle oak, and a soft, lingering finish.
