It’s never been so hard to score a Japanese whisky bottle! The category is on fire but you need to know why. While Suntory, the dominant whisky maker in the land of the rising sun, is celebrating its 100th birthday, a bunch of newcomers have taken over the whisky consumption scene by storm and we now enjoy a wonderful and diverse organoleptic landscape. We’ll cover the history of Japanese whisky, the men and women behind it, the uniqueness of its production methods, and naturally, we’ll dive deep into every single one of these 8 whiskies! Japanese-centric amuse-bouches and a highball will be served before the class starts. The tasting includes the following:
- Fuji single grain
- Hibiki Blossom Harmony 2022 release
- Hakushu 18 years
- Yame 15 years
- Mars Komagatake 2022 edition
- Chichibu The US edition 2022
