Hibiki Japanese Harmony Kacho Fugetsu Limited Edition

Hibiki Japanese Harmony Kacho Fugetsu Limited Edition Japanese Blended Whisky
700ml | 43% ABV | Non-Chill Filtered | Natural Color | Seasonal Limited Release

A Poetic Ode to Nature’s Beauty

The Hibiki Kacho Fugetsu draws its name from the traditional Japanese aesthetic concept of Kacho Fugetsu—“Flowers, Birds, Wind, Moon”—which celebrates the quiet harmony of the natural world. Consequently, its label features delicate hand-drawn illustrations of seasonal flora and fauna, changing slightly with each release. Moreover, this limited edition embodies Suntory’s philosophy of wa (harmony) through both art and liquid.

The Trusted Japanese Harmony Blend, Elevated by Art

This bottling contains the same Hibiki Japanese Harmony liquid as the core expression—a masterful blend of malt and grain whiskies from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita, including components matured in rare Mizunara oak. In fact, the Hibiki Kacho Fugetsu offers the familiar profile of honey, yuzu, white peach, and sandalwood, wrapped in Hibiki’s signature silky texture.

Balanced, Fresh, and Exceptionally Smooth

Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky delivers elegance with approachability. As a result, it layers orange marmalade, white grape, and vanilla over soft oak and a whisper of spice. Additionally, the high-quality grain whisky base ensures a creamy mouthfeel that makes it perfect for sipping neat or in a highball.

Tasting Experience

First, the nose reveals blossom water, pear, and fresh citrus, followed by honey, almond, and a hint of white pepper. Then, subtle floral notes bloom with air.

On the palate, the texture is smooth and medium-bodied. Flavors of mandarin, toffee, and white tea unfold with grace. The alcohol integrates seamlessly, enhancing balance from start to finish.

Finally, the finish is clean and lingering—green apple, green tea, and a whisper of incense. Altogether, it’s a refined and serene dram that captures the spirit of this Hibiki Kacho Fugetsu.

A Seasonal Collector’s Favorite

Suntory has released the Hibiki Kacho Fugetsu in multiple years (including 2020 and 2022) as a seasonal limited edition, with slight variations in artwork. Therefore, it’s highly sought after by collectors who appreciate the fusion of Japanese art, poetry, and whisky. While the liquid remains consistent, the evolving label makes each release a unique keepsake.
