Whisky by flavour
Whiskies were always traditionally grouped by region, but as the number of whisky-producing countries grows, it's now becoming more common to group them by flavour
Japanese whisky
Although Japan's first commercial whisky distillery, Yamazaki, was founded near Kyoto in 1924, it's in the past 20 years that Japanese whisky has really made an impression on the international stage.
The watershed moment came in 2001 when Nikka's 10-year-old Yoichi single malt won 'Best of the Best' in an international blind-tasting organised by Whisky Magazine. Nikka's From The Barrel is also award-winning, blending whiskies from two famous Japanese distilleries.

And whisky bars, cocktails and new styles of whisky are bringing in more types of people all the time.
