FAQs
What is so special about Japanese whisky?
While Japanese distillers follow Scottish traditions, their unique production process reflects their priority on refining this fine spirit to bring out its soft, delicate flavour notes than lead with a strong and overly sweet style like their American counterparts.
While the chill during winter slows the maturation process and its summer heat quickens it, Japanese whisky distillers use mineral water and Japanese woods to age and impart a distinct flavour to their whisky.
How many times is Japanese whisky distilled?
Like Scottish tradition, they are distilled twice. However, at GoodDrop, you will find different styles of your favourite drinks where you can buy Japanese whisky in Australia that has been distilled up to four times.
What is Japanese whisky made from?
Japanese whisky is made from malted or peated barley, mineral water and yeast. It’s then aged in either oak barrels, wine casks or bourbon barrels.
Can you chill Japanese whisky?
Many drinkers choose to store their Japanese whisky in Australia in the fridge to prevent using ice that can dilute its rich flavour. Additionally, when chilled, it will create a silky, viscous feel in the mouth that will be pleasurable to sip on.
