Japanese
The Japanese approach to vodka has created a very good product. I wonder, however: is it possible to create a truly great product?
Overall Rating: ★★☆
A review perhaps too long in coming. This American homage to a Japanese whisky is a must-try flavor bomb.
Overall Rating: ★★★
It’s sophisticated, it’s doing something new, and it’s Japanese. But at easily twice the price of a “premium” gin, it doesn’t rise to the high standards it sets for itself.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Not only does this stuff flat-out suck, it absolutely strains the limits of credulity to call itself Japanese whisky for reasons I can’t wait to let you in on.

A usually-boring scotch label tries out an exciting concept for a brand extension. Surprise! It’s still boring.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Don't let the (low) price scare you off. This isn't discount-grade Japanese whisky, but a graceful and well-crafted product. Not just for highballs!
Overall Rating: ★★☆
As everyone goes gonzo for Japanese whisky, the market adjusts to provide supply to match demand. Yes: this is Japanese, and it is whisky, but it might not be what you expect.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Nobody really expects anything from this spartan-looking bottle. Until they take a sip and have to hunt around on the floor to see where their jaw went. A favorite of mine and a future favorite of yours. Overall Rating: ★★★
