Hibiki × Chiso – 2026 Limited Edition
Japanese Harmony,
dressed in kimono art.
Hibiki's iconic 24-faceted bottle, reimagined by Chiso, the Kyoto kimono house founded in 1555. Available in the UK in highly limited quantities, it makes a stunning gift for Christmas 2026.
Two Japanese legacies, one bottle
Hibiki ranks among the world's most admired whiskies.* Chiso has been dressing Japan in silk for more than 470 years. This release brings the two together in a design that is available in the UK in highly limited quantities.
Highly limited in the UK
Only a very small allocation of the 2026 Chiso design is coming to the UK. Once our bottles have gone, they're gone.
Partner to Dior & Yohji Yamamoto
Chiso is a master of Kyo-Yuzen silk dyeing, and fashion houses including Dior and Yohji Yamamoto have partnered with it.
Award-winning liquid
Inside is the acclaimed Hibiki Japanese Harmony, with its blend of malt and grain whiskies and rare Mizunara oak character.
Gift-ready carton
The kimono artwork continues across a matching limited-edition carton, so it's ready to give with no wrapping.
Silk, turned into living art
"Founded in Kyoto in 1555, Chiso is one of Japan's oldest family-run kimono houses, and a pinnacle of Japanese artistry and luxury."
Chiso's Kyo-Yuzen dyeing draws on the natural world, and the house has set the standard for kimono artistry for over four centuries. Hibiki follows the same idea. It treats tradition as a living, creative force, using more than a century of whisky craft to express the balance between nature and people.
The artwork wraps the 24-faceted bottle, one facet for each of Japan's traditional micro-seasons, and follows the passing of the year in blossom and fruit.
Five flowers, five blessings
Every motif in the design is an auspicious symbol from Japanese tradition. Together they stand for happiness and longevity, which is exactly what you'd wish on someone you're giving it to.
