Japanese whisky

Type of distilled liquor produced in Japan

Since the early 21st century, Japanese whisky has undergone rapid expansion and internationalization, supported by the growth of domestic distilleries, rising exports, and the introduction of industry-wide production standards. The origins of commercial whisky production in Japan date to the early 20th century, when Japanese producers began studying Scotch whisky-making techniques and adapting them to domestic conditions. Early development was shaped by the transfer of technical knowledge from Scotland, combined with experimentation using local water sources, climate conditions, and maturation environments.
