Japanese whiskey is a distinctive spirit style that primarily utilizes malted barley as its base ingredient, though it can also incorporate corn, rye, and wheat. This whiskey is crafted through pot still or column still distillation and must be aged in oak barrels—often American or Japanese oak—for a minimum of three years, as mandated by law. The result is a refined beverage that showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of Japanese distillers.
The flavor and aroma profile of Japanese whiskey typically features a delicate balance of sweet and savory notes, with common flavors including honey, vanilla, apple or pear fruitiness, floral hints, spices like cinnamon, and umami characteristics. Its texture ranges from smooth to creamy or silky with a medium to full body. While often enjoyed neat or on the rocks, it also serves well in cocktails such as highballs or classic drinks like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan.
