If there’s one word that defines Japanese whisky, it’s harmony. Japan’s tryst with fine whisky began more than a century ago when the man often referred to as the father of Japanese whisky - Masataka Takesturu, set up Yamazaki, Japan’s first commercial distillery. Japan’s whiskies have seen an unprecedented interest since the 2010s as whisky aficionados sought newer global whisky experiences. It was only a matter time, now Japanese whiskies are also on the radar of whisky connoisseurs in one of the world’s largest whisky markets – India. Not long ago, Indian whisky enthusiasts had to rely mainly on duty free stores for their Japanese whisky fix. That’s changed over the past few years.
