Japan Whisky

Some of the best non-Scottish whiskys of the world come from Japan. With over 150 years of experience in whisky production, the land of cherry blossoms has a lot to be proud of. Its value and excellence have been confirmed by numerous connoisseurs from all over the world. 2003 Whisky Magazine blind test even proved how indistinguishably similar palette and quality to the Scotch, Japanese whisky can serve.

That is probably because the production of whisky in Japan began as a conscious effort to recreate the Scotch style. Pioneers like Masataka Taketsuru, who studied chemistry in Glasgow as well as took internships in Scottish distilleries, put a lot of effort and energy into bringing the quality of Scottish whisky home. With internationally acclaimed whisky giants, it is obvious that all that hard work paid off.
