oh i just picked a random image, i have no clue about their whiskey, i've just heard japanese whiskey is a bit like bourbon in that its sweet and smooth, but it sounds appealing with the floral and fruity aspects
whats a good one if i like orange type flavors

[Anonymous No.17515108]

Good but not worth the upcharge. I got a bottle of Suntory for around $30, was a very light and crisp whiskey. Don't think I'd buy it again though. Kind of reminded me of a lightwood while normally whiskey reminds me of something like oak

It's just like scotch, a lot of Japanese whiskey also includes scotch because it got so popular they ran out of aged stocks, they also have no definition of Whiskey in Japan so they don't have to tell you if it was distilled in Japan or another country.

but they dont really call it japanese whiskey, they just call it whiskey and put their fancy calligraphy on it, its not really a trademark

From my understanding it's voluntary, it's not enforced by the government. They can still call Whiskey not completely produced in Japan Japanese whiskey, though there is now a list of products which voluntarily list online if it's completely produced in Japan or not but I don't think it's listed on the bottle.

Star Trek had the ability to capture the electrochemical state that constituted consciousness and reconstruct it perfectly thousands of miles away, the whole "synthehol" thing was a lame plot point invented to give scotty a reason to sound like a curmudgeon that didn't clash with the woke sensitivities of TNG. Luckily DS9 cleaned up and modernized these attitudes and we got Miles O'Brian who was arguably the best and most underappreciated character in the show

Avoid it like the plague. It became popular when Suntory started winning awards at scotch competitions, but the distilleries weren't big enough to handle the demand. Now they're rushing young age statements out the door and even the 12+ year variants are cutting corners. It will likely be another 10 years before anything gets uncorked worth a damn again.

How so?
It’s the North American export equivalent of Suntory “Kakubin”.
It isn’t meant to be a “fine” whiskey of any sort. It’s meant to be consumed in the form of the Suntory Highball or “Kaku Highball”. Pic related, had it at a kushikatsu shop in Namba, Osaka.
Nobody in Japan drinks Kakubin as a stand-alone whiskey, except for maybe alcoholics.
But at the same time, other Japanese whiskeys don’t work for a “Kaku Highball”. It has a distinct flavor.
Kakubin isn’t available in NA. We get Toki instead.
But its place is still in a Suntory Highball. Not neat, or on the rocks.

but if you're comparing it to japanese whisky the difference is night and day.
