We’ll be going to Japan for this tasting (virtually.) Fukano and Ohishi came to the US recently with the rising tide of Japanese Whisky popularity. These distilleries use a different grain, rice, but it’s still whisky. It turns out that our old LA Scotch Club OG, Chris Uhde, is America’s point of contact for these bottles as VP of Impex. Chris will be telling us all about these two distilleries and their curious path to our shelves in America.
