I can't keep track of the Japanese whiskey types. I typically just buy a $30-50 bottle when flying through Narita or Hong Kong and it usually tastes good.
Last time I was in Taipei I picked up a bottle of Kavalan which was fantastic. It was a bit more expensive but truly great. That and Suntory Chita have been the more memorable ones lately.
Smithsonian Channel has been running a series on the WWII in the Pacific recently. I don't remember if it was on Okinawa or Saipan, but there was footage of a cleanup going on and there was a Suntory crate visible. Just an interesting note I suppose...

We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.
Nope. Never heard of it. That looks like it would go down real smooth.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
I unironically want to try this.

I use to watch those guys. Not sure if it's their sense of humor and my lack of it but I find their videos extremely frustrating. I avoid their stuff like the plague / Covid.
I picked up a bottle today. Paired it with a Patel Edge tonight and am enjoying it very much.

Since this was resurrected...... I had a short but deep dive into Japanese whiskey a couple years ago. There's a lot of good stuff but it's a very shady business. You'd be surprised at how much of it today is just re-bottled/rebranded Irish whiskey. Yamazaki 12 was great but not for the price it's going for today. 15 years ago I was buying it for $39.99 now it's in the $150 range here
Check out Indian and Taiwan whiskeys. Some good stuff. Amarut, Paul John and Kavalan should be available in most places

I'm not a big fan of Japanese whisky but really enjoy the Nikka Coffey MALT (not the grain).
Still haven't seen the PBR anywhere
