“Japanese Whisky Dictionary” Youtube video distribution, Part 10 (Second half)
Continuing from the previous article, the year 2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Japanese whisky! So, as a review of the ever-increasing number of Japanese whisky distilleries, we would like to present “The Latest Trends of Japanese Whisky (first volume): A Review of Whisky Distilleries in Japan”.
1. A starting point for beginners
The concept of this project was to introduce whisky to people who have been interested in “BAR” and “Japanese whisky” but have been reluctant to approach it.
We hope that it will be an opportunity for not only connoisseurs who are familiar with Japanese whisky, but also for beginners who want to learn more about whisky and Japanese whisky from zero, to go to a bar, or to learn more about Japanese whisky, and that it will interest as many people as possible.
