A young Japanese chemist, Masataka Taketsuru brought back the art and science of making whiskey after a trip to Scotland. After he came back, Makataka was hired by Shinjiro Torii to work at his distillery, Kotobukiya (which would later be renamed to Suntory). However, they soon parted ways and each went on to start their own distillery &#8212; Nikka and Suntory respectively. Over the years, both whiskey brands have bottled some of the best Japanese whiskeys. Their whiskeys have even made it to Jim Murray\u2019s Whiskey Bible list &#8212; Suntory\u2019s The Yamazaki Sherry Cask won the award for the best whisky in 2015 and Nikka&#8217;s Coffey Malt clinched that accolade in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Japanese whiskey vs Scotch whiskey<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52258\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52258\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-52258\" src=\"https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dylan-de-jonge-pe9T4ROjpzQ-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"best japanese whiskey vs scotch\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dylan-de-jonge-pe9T4ROjpzQ-unsplash.jpg 640w, https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dylan-de-jonge-pe9T4ROjpzQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/shopee.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dylan-de-jonge-pe9T4ROjpzQ-unsplash-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/pe9T4ROjpzQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Dylan de Jonge<\/a> \/ Unsplash)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although heavily influenced by Scotch, there are several differentiating elements between Japanese and Scotch. One of the key differences is that the taste of Japanese whiskey is often influenced by mizunara oak. The mizunara oak tree is native to Japan and it must be at least 200 years old before it&#8217;s felled and used during the maturation process. This oak is turned into the barrel or cask that holds the whiskey during the maturation stage. This tends to lend the whiskey a very distinct taste compared to Scotch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the general taste profile of Japanese whiskey you might ask? Japanese whiskey tends to taste more elegant and feminine compared to Scotch which is often described as masculine. It also usually has<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a less smokey flavour, is a lot less heavily peated and a little sweeter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Japanese whiskeys to try<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
