? Whisky afficionados Are on any there Nostr

Maybe...

Let’s see !

What is your go to whisky?

I like Kirin’s “Fuji single malt” for a casual drink.

My casual go to is Oban. To be honest I have very little experience with Japanese whisky.

Oban is nice !

I love Scottish whisky…

I live in Japan so it’s easier for me to get local ones.

Is it hard to find on your side of the world ?

I wouldn't say hard, but the selection might be somewhat limited. They have about 15 different kinds in the store where I would usually buy whisky. You tell me:

It is more about the fact that I don't have anyone to guide me on the path to discovering Japanese Whisky. And to learn alone? I think I would have to go to Japan and visit few distilleries. Otherwise I'm too lazy to leave my comfort zone of my go to pours.

I have no idea why I shared the long screenshot when I could of share the link to the store directly. https://www.la-vin.cz/destilaty-whisky-japonska-whisky-s-591/

They have a decent list of items, from low to high end.

Unfortunately I’m not sure about their prices (need to make the conversion).

Probably the best way before purchasing a bottle is to go to a bar and try different ones (if you feel like it).

Not really sure if we can compare the prices because we have 21% sales tax here and extra additional tax on alcohol and all that is already included... But definitely buying a bottle to find out that I don't like it would be crazy.

Looks cool

Check the bottom of the bottle, you can can enjoy the Mount Fuji. 😉

I like whisky but don't know enough to be considered an afficionado

Fair enough.

Me neither, I think it’s a deep rabbit hole.

There is a liquor store close to me and they sell great bottles.
