Never had a Japanese whiskey. How do they compare to their American counterparts?

I’m really digging them! I’ve just started exploring them, but they seem to all be really smooth and caramel-y. They are getting more popular though, so the prices are starting to go up. If you like single malts, give this a try:

They’re more closely related to Scotch than Bourbon/Rye and they’re delicious.

I’ve been planning to try one of these soon. Anything in the sub $40 a bottle range that you would recommend so I can do a The Cask review?

Get that blended piss water out of here...
Yamazaki Whisky is best Whisky (Japanese Whisky that is).
Edit: J/K Hibiki is pretty solid.

Totally agree! I LOVE that stuff, just trying to get my hands on as many different Japanese whiskeys as I can, but they’re getting hard to find around here. People are snatching them all up. Yamazaki is my favorite whiskey of all.

What? It’s nearly 1030 and I haven’t finished it yet!

The problem is that eventually it runs out.

Nothing that I’ve found, they’re all $60 and up but dammit if they’re not delicious.

Never seen a Japanese whiskey in that price range in Denver. But, have you had Leopold Bros? It’s local to Denver, it’s around $30-35 a bottle, and it’s better than most of the $60-80 bottles I’ve had. Sooooooo good.

This is my favourite (at least favourite whisky I can get my hands on)
It’s from the ocean side of Islay so it has a nice briny flavour to it.

I’m new to Oppo, but I can tell we’re going to get along just fine.

This is the liquor store below my office in NY so the prices are slightly higher.

The Iwai and the Akashi might be in budget here in Michigan. I’ll keep an eye out! Thanks!

I’ll have to see where if I can find it.

Hmm, I haven’t seen that one before. I’ve gotten the normal stuff and the single malt.
