Anybody have any experience with Japanese Whisky's? Specifically as they might appeal to Bourbon rather than Scotch drinkers. Our State store has several at a pretty reasonable price vs the secondary market.

I recently had one called Hatozaki that tastes more of corn than malt. I did not find it a good value.

It is closer to scotch.

I don't like scotch so Beero
Became the go to in adult beverages.
When ordering a beer at a kiosk the long vowel of O is added. Just saying beer only got strange looks.

I like Sapporo above the others but there is little difference in them.
