Ha! Didn’t know that.
The yoichi you linked to above is single malt and from one of their Japanese distilleries. I’m actually a fan of Japanese blends, just not their prices, and helps that I like Ben Nevis too!
Irony is that because they use so much of Ben Nevis’ output in blends they struggle to put out an official bottling. Ended up with a weird situation where the distillery had to buy back their own stock.
Rules regarding what makes Japanese whisky Japanese are... generous. A good deal of the malt that goes into nikkas blends is Ben Nevis.
So it’s kinda japanesish whisky.
