"Whisky Magazine" turns Japanese (sorry)

For the first time ever, a distiller outside of Scotland has won Whisky Magazine's award for best single malt. The prize went to Yoichi's 20-year-old, a smoky drink with a sweet finish from outside Sapporo City. (It was also Suntory timethe brand's Hibiki 30 was named the world's best blend.) Want to sample a glass? Good luck: Not only is it 300 bucks a bottle, the award-winning drink is already selling out online.

Those who are interested in Japanese whisky might want to try looking at nonjatta.blogspot.com, which is a website all about the subject. It is written by a group of Japanese whisky fans rather than a company and so is honest in its opinions.
