Cuvée presentation

A blend of whiskeys from Suntory’s three distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita for the grain. Hibiki 21 Year Old is a highly sought-after blend and is emblematic of the group’s work. Launched in 1989, its iconic twenty-four-sided bottle is a reference to the 24 seasons in Japan, and its appearance in Sofia Coppola's film, “Lost in Translation” has made it a firm favourite among connoisseurs and the general public alike. This second limited edition 21 Year Old commemorates Mont Fuji being added to the World Cultural Heritage List in 2013.

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.
