Japanese Whisky
Japanese whisky is one of the most sought-after categories of spirit in the world. To make sure that its makers are more transparent as to what’s in the bottle, The Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association has laid out strict guidelines for its members as to what they can call Japanese whisky – the whiskies in this category all meet those guidelines.

Japanese whisky is much older than people often realize, with the first malt distillery producing spirit in 1923. The past century has seen a small number of distilleries define a wide range of Japanese whisky styles, but since the early 2000s we have seen a rapid acceleration in both popularity and innovation. Where there once only a handful of producers, there are now tens, and Japanese whisky is branching out into a new era of whisky making.
