zmcnulty posted:Suntory added one at Chita last year too. Given it's four times the size of the one they have at Hakushu, and they added a grinder and cooker, my guess is they want to start making a lot of Bourbon-ish Japanese whisky. The Hakushu rye was awesome when it came out. That’s interesting. Where’d you learn about it? (I ask because I would like to be up to date on this kind of info on the off chance there’s something to read/follow, but I figure a lot of this level of info comes from being an industry guy who knows guys.)

zmcnulty posted:For this kind of info, there's a Japanese Whisky Yearbook beginning in 2023. As you might expect from the name, it's sort of a Japan-focused version of the Malt Whisky Yearbook. Officially, there's no relation though. Thanks, this is useful (even though my Japanese is not even close to up to par)!

Black is a good all rounder. Glenmorangie is very light so I wouldn’t recommend it given your other comments. In that range I really like Bunnhahabhain. It’s an Islay but much milder than Laga. Highland Park, Oban, Balvenie are all good and frequently recommended.

Yeah fair enough. I think I see HP and especially Balvenie in that range but it’s been a while since I bought either. Oban was probably wishful thinking though.

It’s gonna be hard for anyone to beat WT101 for best value, imo. Four Roses small batch is often up there, but it is nearly twice the price, at least for me. Best overall, there are too many options.

I don’t live there, but it doesn’t look like you can accomplish the twin goals of shipping liquor in NC and not breaking the law at the same time. You’ve gotta choose which one you care more about.

bloody ghost titty posted:& I walked back some choice invectives related to bud light and lifted trucks because I thought better of assuming a SA poster of 20 years was gonna up and show their rear end about single malts. it doesn't typically get an umbrella, but you could certainly add one to the classic Caribbean combo of Scotch + coconut water, rocks. i was really surprised how good it was when i tried it a summer or two ago. use really great coconut water (Harmless Harvest is the best I found) and not-so-great smoky blended Scotch for the best effect.
