8 Japanese Whiskeys That You Need To Try!

Japanese Whisky is a great place to go if you like Scotch, but the Japanese style of making whisky has evolved to be something unique. There is a great variety of style and technique. Even though Japanese whisky originated from a Scottish style, it has evolved independently for enough time to differentiate it.

That Hibiki is really something 👌🏻

[@Nordic1337]

I got a botlle of Hibiki with some gift money for Christmas. Itll be my second bottle, good stuff!

[@jimmyjohnson6095]

Wait till you try the Hibiki 17.. it’s legendary

[@AndrewKidd14145]

Hibikis so good. And presentations on point

[@Bigstarrocker9]

Suntory Toki my first Japanese Whiskey and I love it but I love to try the Hibiki

[@RollerRockin]

I brought this Hibiki Japanese Harmony Whiskey just for the beautiful bottle.

[@Emartinez72090]

Yoichi and Miyagikyo are a must

[@jettgoldberg1015]

Yamazaki 12 year was the first whiskey I tried in Japan. It was so good! I tried Suntory’s Ao blend after that and it wasn’t as good but not bad.

[@robertbode2716]

Suntory Toki I’ve picked so many times. So smooth especially for the price

[@bishnugurung3908]

Yoichi and taketsuru are my fav. Expensive whiskey

[@TheBluman1]

I have a bottle of the Iwai and love it and the price is amazing

[@garrettyankton5411]

A lot do those are some serious cheddar for a bottle. Man is it worth it though but it’s the kinda whiskey you’d drink to celebrate your kids graduation or something

[@adrianadios5041]

Hibiki is top knotch 👌

[@changkachoy]

Nikka Yoichi 10

[@BennyCasazza]

Idk about anyone else but I love Hibiki. Had a year ago and yesterday, still as good as I remember

[@reubenk1615]

where's Nikka from the barrel?
best bang for your buck imo, my current favorite.
harmony 700ml here in Israel is 500 NIS or 140$!
Nikka 500 ml goes for 230 NIS or 65$.
its nuts...

[@whiskeybonded]

I'd probably do Nikka for those prices too. Although, Harmony is really nice.

[@japa4551]

You should Review the Whisky from the hood (its Japanese iirc)

[@TheDownbeatruler]

Nikka Coffey Malt is great too.

[@whiskeybonded]

Agreed! 👍🥃

[@justinv548]

Is the toki better off as mix or can it be had neat? Its around $55 in my area and id rather not shell that out for a mixer

[@numanuma20]

Assuming they are distilled in Japan.

[@buffalofiresidechats]

I hear some Japanese whiskeys are excellent. So many choices!! If you could recommend one that I should absolutely review, which one would it be?

[@whiskeybonded]

IMO, Hibiki Japanese Harmony. It's not to hard to find, delicious, and if you don't love it, you'll still have an absolutely beautiful bottle to break out for company. 👍🏻🥃

[@buffalofiresidechats]

@@whiskeybonded Awesome, I will add it to the growing list!!

[@drakorising5253]

I had the toki it's like scotch but soft idk i got some tea flavor flower pedal type flavor off the toki idk maybe I'm tripping lol it was good tho.

[@whiskeybonded]

I've heard other people say that. I didn't get that note, but tasting is super individual.

[@kobaltics]

The Toki makes for a greater mixer. It’s specifically meant for a highball, but it’s great with ginger ale or sprite.

[@sn1p4rz]

No nikka coffee grain?

[@Reav052]

Does it need a chaser😂

[@HappilyMundane]

I actually don't like Hibiki. I got the whole suntory range (unaged versions, the moment they put the aged versions the price just goes 💹💹💹) and it was the only one I didn't like. Nice bottle though. Using it as my infinity bottle now.

[@emptyroomd9567]

For the price of an iPhone you can get your very own Japanese whiskey

[@jcurbin305]

Yea, and I'll take the Japanese whisky all day over an iPhone...👍

[@AndrewKidd14145]

Can’t forget the nikka Coffey grain

[@dlindy9143]

Isn't the Yamazaki like $1,000 a bottle?

[@whiskeybonded]

The 18 is now. Booo. 😔

[@arvandero]

Harmony all day long baby!!!!!

[@lostremnant]

Best one for a beginner?

[@whiskeybonded]

Hibiki Toki. Inexpensive, and go from there. 👍🥃

[@lostremnant]

@@whiskeybonded dang that was a fast reply lol. I'll try it out. Thanks

[@nathanribbing9861]

where is the Yamato

[@whiskeybonded]

I'll put it on the next list!

[@asdasd-os5vk]

Japanese whiskies are too expensive. Yamazaki 12 cost like a 21 year old whisky.

[@whiskeybonded]

They've gotten way to expensive for sure. 😞

[@jesusblanco810]

Am I seeing this wrong, I only counted 7

[@whiskeybonded]

You're correct! Nobody ever pays attention enough to count! Subscriber of the day! 😂👍🏻🥃

[@jesusblanco810]

@@whiskeybonded 😆

[@JohnBrown-vx3rx]

I found Toki for $30. should I try it?

[@whiskeybonded]

Worth a try if you're new to Japanese Whisky.

[@JohnBrown-vx3rx]

@whiskeybonded wife only let's me keep one bottle at a time. next time i think I'll try it. I can always ginger ale it up. cant afford the $200 stuff.

[@whiskeybonded]

@@JohnBrown-vx3rx You can definitely always mix em. Don't worry about the $200 stuff. Most stuff over $100 isn't worth the extra cost over the bottles you can get under $60. 👍🥃
