It was just a sarcy comment aimed at Japanese whisky in general, that one probably was made in Japan but it also could have been sitting the Ben Nevis distillery for 15 years before being shipped over. There's pretty much zero legislation when it comes to what can be called 'Japanese whisky' and most of it is imported from Scotland and Canada.
I just find the price of Japanese whisky comical and the fact that most of the people that rave about how Japanese whisky is the best usually have no idea what they're drinking.

Fair enough, thanks for the info, I really didn’t know and I was genuinely asking. I rate nikka (from the barrel), hakushu, and hibiki, but I don’t know where they’re entirely from. Guess it doesn’t really matter as the taste is the thing but it’s good context.
Anyone saying the whisky from one place vs another is the best sounds like a dick tbh, and boring

Out of interest why is it not Japanese?
