GET TO KNOW: JAPANESE WHISKY
Japan has been a hotbed of whisky production for more than a century. Now the home of some of the most sought-after names in whisky, it has a long and complex history and a rapidly expanding modern distilling industry.
Nikka and Suntory have both been in production since the 1920s, but an influx of new distilleries has breathed new life into the country’s whisky scene. Collectors’ favourite Chichibu, Led by master blender Ichiro Akuto, makes distinctive single malts and blends of both Japanese and world whiskies, which are highly prized by lovers of Japanese whisky.
