Turning Japanese (we actually, really, think so)

Following the strict voice of Allt om Whiskys editor, Åke, I gladly accepted to do a tasting of 36 japanese whiskies for the next issue of the magazine.
As this is no task to be taken lightly, I summoned my most trusted noses (aka Peo, Olle and El Mannio) and we sat down with our blends, malts and vats.

We started out with nothing, and we've still got most of it left, as Seasick Steve put it. Or, we started out with the blended and vatted whiskies such as the Hibiki, the Taketsura and others, moved over to non-age single malts and went through them all up to 20+ years (the oldest being 35 yo).

If you live in Sweden, or understand swedish, the test will be in the next number. Otherwise you'll have to drop me a comment for more info on which were good, better and best!
