For this collectible 2026 limited edition, Hibiki's iconic 24-faceted bottle — each facet representing one of Japan's 24 traditional micro-seasons — is reimagined with Chiso's bespoke floral design, and the whisky inside is the luminous Hibiki Japanese Harmony blend of Yamazaki and Hakushu malts with Chita grain whisky. Bottled at 43% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43% (86 proof)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamazaki and Hakushu malt whiskies with Chita grain whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chiso (Kyoto, est. 1555) Kyo-Yuzen floral artwork on bottle and box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026 limited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Kimono House Dresses an Icon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChiso has practiced Kyo-Yuzen — a hand-dyeing technique that makes silk kimonos read like paintings — for nearly 470 years. Its design for this bottle layers jewel-toned motifs drawn from Japan's changing seasons: tachibana (evergreen citrus) for enduring prosperity, kiri (paulownia) for good fortune and nobility, sakura (cherry blossom) for renewal, and ume (plum blossom) with tsubaki (camellia) for longevity — set in gold, crimson, emerald, indigo and soft blush across both the bottle and its presentation box. It is a natural canvas for Hibiki, whose blends are built the same way: many elements, harmonized.
