The House of Suntory is proud to present this special edition Hibiki to honor and celebrate Harrods’ 175th Anniversary. The paragon of whisky toasts the paragon of stores, celebrating our shared appreciation of treasures.

For The House of Suntory, Hibiki has always been a precious blend of whisky treasures. Numerous malt and grain whiskies are carefully selected from Suntory’s globally acclaimed Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita distilleries. These whiskies are meticulously blended to create a sense of unity, unveiling a full orchestra of flavors and aromas.

For 175 years, Harrods has uniquely been the home to a world of possibilities and myriad treasures from around the globe. The London store has a legacy of curating the finest things with unparalleled creative flair, celebrating the exclusive, the elevated, and the exquisite. Both of our founders were visionaries who understood the true value of treasureîhow it stimulates, delights, and amazes. Shinjiro Torii brought whisky home to inspire the Japanese, then enthusiastically shared his Japanese whisky with the world. Charles Henry Harrod brought the world to his London store, creating a place where the extraordinary and the unexpected could be tasted, seen, and felt. Today, Harrods is still a place to discover treasures from across the globe.

In keeping with this theme, the specially created artwork for this celebratory Hibiki features selected stylistic motifs inspired by the prestigious heritage of Harrods. The treasure hunter’s eye will find the peacockîa majestic bird that has adorned the walls of the historic Harrods Food Halls since the 1900sîthe tea leaf, reflecting Harrods' opening in 1849 as a humble tea merchant on Brompton Road, Knightsbridge, and the Harrods motto, òOmnia Omnibus Unique,’ translating from Latin as òAll Things For All People Everywhere,’ which is proudly carved into the terracotta facade of the iconic London store.

A new motif is also there to discover: a depiction of a Tabane Noshi, a symbolic celebratory gift that originates from the centuries-old Japanese tradition of presenting dried abalone strips, representing longevity and rarity. This is fitting for this moment marking 175 years of Harrods.
