I don't have a problem with that method of production I'm just against the lack of transparency in all whisky production, Japan just happens to take it to a ridiculous level. The reason why it matters is because the climate of the country where a spirit is produced and matured has a massive impact on how it develops, whisky made in South Asia for example matures a lot faster than in Scotland and provenance is one of the main reasons we buy it.
If they actually put where the whisky came from on the bottle I'd be more inclined to buy it but I think I'm in the minority there.

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
