Whisky... from Japan


As a gift from my previous employer I got a bottle of Whisky from Japan. I've been wanting to try Japanese whiskey for some time now but I've always opted for a safer choice in the last second. I'd hate to come home with a bad Whisky! So yesterday I had a little sip (a wee dram) of this Nikka Yoichi. I didn't expect much from it. I was pleasantly surprised though. I was expecting some fairly bland and boring whisky but as it turned out it was quite smooth and fruity with a smokey after taste. Really good. After adding just a few drops of water it tasted even better. lucky me.

See http://www.systembolaget.se/SokDrycker/Produkt?VaruNr=10413 for information about this whisky.

And on a side note, the spell checking features on blogger.com seems to favour the spelling whiskey rather than whisky. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky for more on this spelling issue.
