"For the first time, whiskey produced outside of Scotland has won awards for best in the world by Whisky Magazine," Slashfood.com reports.
"In the single malt competition, Yoichi 20 years old, which is distilled near the city of Sapporo on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, beating out a number of other ostly Scottish brands. Judges chose Yoichi 20 for its 'amazing mix of big smoke and sweet blackcurrant,' 'explosive aroma' and 'big, long and sweet finish.'"
Japanese whisky? Puh-leez ...
If you want a whisky with an "explosive aroma" and a "long finish," well, get thee to a liquor store and purchase a bottle of George Dickel.
It tastes of Tennesse corn, and it'll tickle your tongue like no other bottled spirit. So there.

Well, yes, Dickel be good - though since they switched to steel from oak for the vats it aint' like it used to be - but it is sour mashtechnically and not quite the same as scotch whisky.
I am a bit curious about this here Japanese likker now though. But still it probably ain't worth the money when for 20 bucks you can get yoursefl a bottle of the aforementioned mash.
