Japanese Whisky questions

What makes Japanese whisky different?
It was modeled on Scotch, so it's usually malt-based and double-distilled, but the style leans more delicate, precise and balanced — often lightly peated or unpeated, with careful blending.
Japanese whisky vs Scotch — what's the difference?
Scotch tends to be bolder and more regionally distinctive, sometimes heavily peated. Japanese whisky prioritizes harmony and subtlety, and Japanese distilleries typically blend in-house rather than trading stock with each other.
Why is Japanese whisky so expensive and hard to find?
Demand outran supply. A surge in global popularity emptied aged stocks faster than distilleries could replace them, and whisky takes years to mature — so older bottles are scarce and prices are high.
What's the best way to drink Japanese whisky?
The highball — whisky with soda over ice — is the standard serve in Japan and shows off its balance. It's also excellent neat or with a few drops of water.
