Presently the top 3 posts are dealing with some form of alcohol I might as well add another. I have tried some and find them somewhat appealing. Just confused with the varieties.

I don't know about Japanese, but the liquor store was pushing some Indian stuff a few months ago. They couldn't cal it scotch, but it was essentially scotch.

I did drink some indian gin once. If I remember it seemed to give one a moment of transitory blindness.

Yamazaki is very good, and hard as heck to find these days. Japanese whiskeys are apparently all the rage right now.

Interesting. Was at my spec the other day and some lady asked the isle guy for a specific Japanese whisky.....he essentially said good luck.

Had never even heard of Japanese whisky

Kavalan from Taiwan is reported to be a real winner.

I don't think they're exporting many of them right now so it's a hot commodity.

I was at a Japanese restaurant in Midtown and their Japanese stuff started at around 40 a pour. No thanks.

A coworker brought a bottle of Hibiki & Yamazaki in for a few of us to try a while back, and I thought it was good but not worth the hassle of tracking it down.

I picked up a bottle earlier this week at Spec's on Brodie in Austin. They received a shipment of a couple of Japanese Whiskys. They are limiting one bottle per purchase.

Aren't Hibiki and Yamakazi two different bottles?

I went to Japan earlier this year and picked up a bottle of Hakushu. It's great. Hibiki and Yamakazi are amazing as well.

I hear they make the whisky from grain grown from the feces of Waygu cattle.

so is this the new thing people will be creaming themselves over instead of pappy van winkle?

Japanese love bourbon and there are quite a few bourbon export only labels. Made here, cannot buy here.

The ones for the asian markets are often the same bourbon we get here, bottled at a lower proof, and sold as super premium product in fancy packaging.

Looking forward to trying this one. Heard good things. A buddy scored a couple and I claimed one!

My boss just gifted me this bottle - anyone had or heard of it? Have never tried Japanese whisky before.

I haven't had that specific one but I liked the Nikka before they rebranded it. Comparable to highland/speyside scotch

I scored a bottle of this in a Goody Goody drawing this last year, it is super interesting. My first experience with Japanese whisky. I still can't get over how much the nose smells of apple.
