About Japanese Whisky

The production of Whisky in Japan began in 1870, but the first commercial production was in 1924 by Yamazaki. The taste has a lot more in common with Scotch over Irish Whisky and so the name reflects this.

The two most well known companies now producing Whisky in Japan are Suntory and Nikka which both produce blended as well as single malt whiskies. The Yamakazi company still produce whisky and in recent years have been pitted against Scotch Whisky in blind tasting and on more than one occasion have won.
