What do you think about Japanese Whisky?

[Linete]

Last weekend I was with friends when someone said that "japanese whisky is so good as the scottish"... Well, then started a loooong discussion...

I prefer the last one...But what do you think about???

[ScotsTraveller]

I tasted Japanese whisky once and to be honest was NOT impressed... I think I'll stick (mainly) to the Scottish variety

[Polwarth]

Nope, not in the same league - although I believe a Japanese company now owns Bowmore distillery

[ScotsTraveller]

Its Suntory that own Morrison Bowmore!

I was wandering in Net and found out this site

I shall taste this whisky... But I am sure that it´s not the same thing

I was in BBC too and found out that I NEVER shall use the word Scot when naming a Indian whisky...

Now I have to go... I shall prepare to weekend and find some scottish whisky in supermarket....

You don't use the word Scot when naming a Scottish whisky - its Scotch and the only whisky that should ever be used for is a Scottish whisky NEVER any other!
