Bring a tasty plot twist into your story.

Whiskies are all the rage but like with all great art, there are diverse interpretations. That’s why this Tasting Box brings three very different Whiskies from three countries: Wales, Israel and Japan. There are wonderful stories to be told by each bottle, amazing flavors and aromas to experience. They are all a part of the world of Whisky-making, but each belongs to its very unique and marvelous genre. Like books, these Whiskies are just waiting to reveal their stories.

The first bottle, Penderyn’s Madeira Gold, is a story of rarity and royalty. The golden Spirit from Wales, where it’s spelled "Wysgi," is a classic, aged in ex-Bourbon casks (one of the founding fathers of Kentucky Bourbon, Evan Williams, was from Wales) and refined with a Madeira finish. It comes from a distillery that brought Whisky-making back to Wales after a century. The captivating Wysgi is born in special stills that produce clean and fruity Spirits, and its blood is the purest water around. It’s a story that brings creamy, rich and fruity aromas, and crispy, oaky and sweet flavors. It’s a story that begins with a loud and cheerful "Iechyd da!" (Which means "cheers" in Welsh and is pronounced lehi-da.)

Milk & Honey Classic, the second bottle, is aged in a combination of ex-Bourbon casks and STR Red Wine casks. The Spirit is uniquely refined, and it has a floral and caramel character that blooms on the palate. It’s light and crisp with no chill-filtration or artificial colorings and bottled at a perfect 46% ABV.

The third story, coming from the far away Land of the setting sun, is a tale of unbelievable characters and plot twists. Ohishi’s Sakura Cask Whisky is made from rice (which is protected by Koi fish squads instead of herbicides), which means it technically isn’t Whisky but Shochu. But wait! It’s also aged in Sakura — Japanese cherry wood. This enigmatic Spirit is deep and exotic and spicy, and wonderfully unique.

Life is a story made of chapters of varying quality, so write a few sentences of joyful decadence and hedonism, and bring some delicious variety and experience to your tale.

Bottoms up, ya’ll.

Smartass Corner:

1) Welsh Whisky, known there as "Wysgi Cymreig," had been a thing since the fourth century when Constantine the Great fooled around, but completely vanished in the late 19th century when people decided to become boring and abstinent. Thank god, Penderyn was founded in 2000 and brought the Whisky back.

2) Rice Whisky is just one of the varieties. Barley, corn, rye, and wheat are the usual suspects in bottles of Whisky, but distillers also experiment with oats, millet, spelt, and now rice. But is a Whisky from rice still Whisky? Isn't it just aged Shochu? Well, it depends on how you define Whisky. Best rice Whiskies are made and aged the same way ordinary Whiskies are, with one different ingredient. So, whether you call it Whisky or Shochu, it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it.

3) Milk & Honey Distillery is the creation of serial tech entrepreneur Gal Kalkshtein and his team — Amit Dror, Simon Fried, and Roee and Naama Licht. Together they opened the first distillery in Israel.

4) While World War II was quite unpleasant for everybody, Japanese Whisky actually loved it. Its sales boomed as companies supplied it directly to the Japanese army. The demand for the golden Spirit was so high most of the Whisky produced in Japan ended up in the stomachs of soldiers.

5) Both England and Wales were without one Whisky distillery for over a century while business boomed in the North. Now, there are thirteen distilleries in England and one in Wales, while there are over 120 in Scotland.

6) Milk & Honey Classic is the first Single Malt produced in Tel Aviv, Israel.

7) In Japan, Whisky makers use second-fill Bourbon barrels and Sherry casks, or barrels made of the indigenous Mizunara oak. In the southern part of Japan, maturation occurs at a faster pace due to higher temperatures, but the required legal minimum is three years of aging.

Liked the Penderyn, smooth and easy to drink. M&H was interesting. Did not like the Ohishi - not a fan of rice-based anything.

Both the Penderin and Milk & Honey are excellent the way they stand. The Ohishi needs a drop of water and it opens up to a strong competitor to the other two for a Friday night sip.

I liked the ohishi the best. That said, it’s a bit pricey for how good it is. The Penderyn was a bit of a disappointment. Very thin body, limited amount of taste and what you can say. Wasn’t terrible just wasn’t good. The milk and honey was pleasant, a nice drink, but (maybe it was just me) I didn’t pick up on the milk and honey.

I enjoyed Penderyn, Milk and Honey was excellent but I didn't care for Ohishi. There was something medicinal about it that, while I got used to it, made me make a face on the first sip.
