  • Japanese Whisky is in huge demand, but why is it so popular? Well, in this episode we find out!
    Japanese Whisky expert James Rattray joins me as we find out where Japanese Whisky came from & how long it's been around. We're introduced to the founding fathers of Nikka & Suntory (Hibiki), we discover what makes Japanese Whisky so unique and unpack what has happened in the last few years to take it from relatively unknown to the hottest product on the top shelf, commanding hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars a bottle.

    Even at two years old, this is still one of the clearest explanations of the Japanese whisky market and styles. Thanks!

    When I was stationed in Japan in the early 80s, Suntory whisky turned me from hard liquor to beer. Times have certainly changed; I love it now

    Saw one of your videos first pop up on my feed a few days ago and I subscribed. Now, quite a few of your videos are in my feed. After a couple days you're up from 8k to 10k. Damn the algorithm loves you rn

    Went out for lunch today at our "local" whisky bar after watching this. First cab off the rank was a Nikka Pure Malt :D I would not have even looked at it if not for this video (after a couple of others (I wasn't driving) murdered my taste buds with an Octomore lol)

    There's a good Japanese bar/restaurant in Sydney called Tokyo Bird and my friend had a going away party there, we got tired of beer so we started ordering whisky and at the end of the night I had run a bill of $300 and that was about 6 glasses, I'm not normally a whisky guy but something about them just compelled me to drink more.

    I saw Nikka whisky here for the first time about 12 years ago. I got intrigued and bought a bottle. I absolutely love them. They are my favourite type of whisky right after smokey islay single malt.

    Wasn't a movie star or a famous author in my case. I lucked into a tasting at a liquor store. They offered me a drink of Nikka Yoichi NAS. Probably would have never ever found out otherwise how great it is. Now I drink the three core Nikka NAS's and can't wait to discover more good ones from Japan! Learning about Japan and its whisky is enjoyable too. Nice review, thanks and cheers!
