8. The Little Book of Japanese Whisky: A fast guide to the finest of all drinks!
Description
...what? Whisky made in Japan?...seriously? This is the kind of remark one could often hear in the past when people (specially in the West) were offered an alternative to Scottish whisky. But here is the good news: times have changed, and for the better! As a matter of fact, you may now happen to hear more often something along these lines: what, you ran out of my favourite Yamazaki?...seriously? Some people first learned that Japan was making whisky with "Lost in Translation", a Sofia Coppola movie from 2003. Some other do not realise that Japan not only has its own single malt and blended whiskies, but it is the world's third largest producer (of whisky) behind the Scots and the Americans effectively surpassing the Irish! But what makes Japanese whisky so special that it is now one of the most expensive spirits worldwide? What are the differences with a Scottish (or American) whisky? How come that "The Whisky Bible", the most known magazine in the whisky world, elected a Japanese, the Yamazaki Sherry Cask 2013, as its 2015 "World Whisky of the Year"? We'll see all of this and more in this book! Answering these questions, will lead us through a fascinating journey into the (drinking) culture of Japan: from its origins, all the way to the creation of one of the most refined spirits ever produced by mankind. Whether you're a whisky aficionado or not even a drinker, whether you're a Nippon fan or simply curious about the story behind some of the most expensive drinks in the world, you'll enjoy reading this book!
