Yamazaki Limited Edition 2015: NAS single malt expression that combines old and young Whiskies in barrels of different origins. Here, you've got a vatting of malt matured in European Sherry and Port casks for up to two decades that's then married with a young malt matured in Bourbon casks.

Karuizawa 1999 / 2000 Asama: not content with just any slice of land, these guys built their stills in 1955 underneath Mount Asama—an active volcano. They only used Golden Promise, an imported barley from Scotland that was praised for its stellar character when matured for longer periods of time. The distillery closed its doors in 2000, but its old stocks are now coming out in special releases. And yes—they get snatched up pretty damn quickly. An exclusive Swedish release from 2012.

Miyagikyo Rum Wood Finish: A limited edition of the great Miyagikyo that is finished in Rum casks. Great taste and oh-so-rare.

Japanese Single Malts, like Scotch, are double-distilled in pot stills. Grain Whiskies, on the other hand, are distilled in column stills.
The two biggest Whisky producers in Japan are Nikka and Suntory, major rivals.
In recent years, Japanese Whiskies have won several top prizes at the World Whisky Awards and have consistently scored higher than Scotch Whiskies in blind tastings. Talk about a student surpassing the master!

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
It's not uncommon for Japanese Whisky to be aged in mizunara (Japanese oak) casks. Suntory conducted a research on how mizunara oak influences Whisky flavor and found out it adds coconut notes to it.
