We knew the Japanese drank sake – Lots of it! However, there’s a sudden buzz about whisky from Japan. For decades, Japanese whisky was largely a domestic phenomenon, but that changed dramatically this millennium, thanks to whisky aficionados searching for new experiences as well as the slew of International awards that Japanese malts have garnered over the last decade. Recently, Fukuyo helmed the release of Suntory’s new Whisky 'Toki', a blend of whiskies crafted specifically for mixing into cocktails. It’s well balanced and silky – On the palate, you’ll taste grapefruit and green apple. Also some peppermint. The finish is sweet and spicy. It’s an exceptionally versatile whisky.
