Japanese Whiskey FAQs

Is it whisky or whiskey?
Japanese and Scotch producers spell it whisky. American and most Irish producers use whiskey. Both mean the same spirit.
Why are bottles like Yamazaki 12 and Hibiki hard to find?
Demand for Japanese whisky grew faster than distilleries could age new stock, so age-statement bottles from Yamazaki, Hakushu and Hibiki are released in limited amounts.
What is mizunara oak?
Mizunara is a Japanese oak used for some casks. It is rare and hard to work with, and it can add notes of sandalwood, coconut and incense.
