Whiskies from Japan

If the finer points of Japanese culture can prove elusive to the Western psyche, much the same could be said for the country’s whisky. While there may be echoes of Scotland in the distilleries of Honshu and Hokkaido, the huge variety of production techniques produces multifaceted whiskies with an identity all their own.

Japanese whisky is much older than people often realise, with the first malt distillery producing spirit in 1923. The past century has seen a small number of distilleries define a wide range of Japanese whisky styles, but since the early 2000s we have seen a rapid acceleration in both popularity and innovation. Where there once only a handful of producers, there are now tens, and Japanese whisky is branching out into a new era of whisky making.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the best Whisky from Japan?

Suntory's Yamazaki 12 Year Old has a style that is very much its own, with a floral fruity single malt reminiscent of scotch. It is the best known Suntory Whisky, and with all, it's a great option for everyone wishing to explore this category.

What makes Japanese Whiskey different?

Japanese Whisky relies heavily on malted barley that’s mashed and distilled twice in pot stills, yielding more residual congeners. Other grain Whiskies may be blended in if it’s a single malt, like Scotch. Japanese Whisky is wood-aged, sometimes in American oak, sometimes in Sherry casks, and sometimes in Japanese Mizunara oak, which imparts unique characteristics.
