The Whisky Terroir, Whisky Made in a Japanese Environment

Learning from Scotland, whisky production began in Japan as well. However, the aroma and taste of Scotch whisky and Japanese whisky are entirely different. The secret, according to Koshimizu, lies in the location of Japan, its four seasons, and the sensibilities and culture of the Japanese people. This leads to a deeper understanding of whisky as a 'terroir' as well.
