It is designed to showcase the \"harmony\" the Hibiki name promises: no single distillery or cask type dominates, each component contributing to a balanced, inviting expression accessible to whisky enthusiasts at all levels.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Ryusui-Hyakka — meaning \"flowing water, one hundred flowers\" in Japanese — is one of several annual limited edition bottle designs Suntory produces for the Hibiki Harmony expression. Each design draws from Japan's artistic and natural heritage, presented in the signature 24-facet Hibiki bottle representing the 24 sekki micro-seasons of the traditional Japanese lunar calendar. The 2021 Ryusui-Hyakka features vibrant floral patterns with gold accents, making it one of the most visually striking Hibiki limited editions produced.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes (Hibiki Japanese Harmony)\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light amber with golden clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey, orange peel, and white chocolate — the Harmony blend's approachable, floral character.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and multi-layered — the malt-grain-Mizunara combination producing a balanced complexity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle and lingering — a sweet warmth that fades cleanly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blended Japanese Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suntory (Yamazaki, Hakushu, Chita)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e American white oak, Spanish oak, Mizunara oak\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-facet Ryusui-Hyakka 2021 limited edition design\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExplore the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/hibiki\"\u003eHibiki collection\u003c\/a\u003e or browse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/japanese-foreign\"\u003eJapanese whisky at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Ryusui-Hyakka mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e Ryusui-Hyakka (流水百花) translates as \"flowing water, one hundred flowers\" — a Japanese artistic concept evoking the beauty of flowers reflected in and carried by moving water. The 2021 limited edition bottle design brings this concept to life through intricate floral patterns in the signature Hibiki 24-facet format.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs the liquid different from standard Hibiki Japanese Harmony?\u003c\/strong\u003e No — the liquid is the same Hibiki Japanese Harmony expression.

Each facet catches light differently, making the bottle a physical embodiment of seasonal change. The Ryusui-Hyakka design adds floral art across these facets.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs this a good collector's bottle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — annual Hibiki limited edition bottle designs are produced in small quantities and not repeated.
