Questions of a Bartender to a Whisky Blender
What is the Deciding Factor in Making Whisky?
Overview
A blender: Someone who creates whisky. A bartender: someone who serves and creates an atmosphere in which to enjoy whisky.
Minoru Nishida is well-renowned and respected as a legend in the bartending world of Kyoto and Japan, just as Seiichi Koshimizu is in the world of whisky.
With a deep knowledge of whisky himself, having served as a judge in many whisky competitions, Nishida holds Koshimizu in extremely high regard and asks him many questions on what the most important thing in the whisky-making process is and what the Japanese whisky industry needs now and in the future.

What is the Deciding Factor in Making Whisky?
We learn in depth what is the most important in whisky-making from the viewpoints of both a blender, some who makes the whisky, and a bartender, someone who pours the whisky.
Bartender Nishida has a wealth of knowledge and experience from his years of drinking and serving whisky.
But he has a question he has always wondered about; why has the same brand of whisky changed in flavor over the years?
He looks to Koshimizu for the answer to this question.
