Japan is weird about things that are deemed "popular". Seemingly mundane things disappear off of shelves if it is featured in a TV program. One particular bottle of Suntory Whiskey (there are many) called "The Yamazaki", recently won a Best single malt whiskey (in the WORLD) award: https://www.forbes.com/sites/felipe...t-at-the-world-whisky-awards/?sh=441173624785
Now, I can get it online without much hassle, but I can not find it on the shelf anywhere, except for the occasional Don Quixote (sells a bunch of off-brand stuff, and I used to regard it as a discount shop... but it's actually not cheap for most things. The Yamazaki Whiskey is definitely cheaper online.).
Well... I finally let curiosity get the better of me and I now have a bottle of it sitting right next to a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label. It has a sort of sweetness to it... but I honestly can't decide which is better, between the two!
TL;DR
I am not the least bit disappointed that I bought this Whiskey. It's slightly cheaper than JW Blue, also.
