my whisky tasting club is turning Japanese this Friday. It's open season on which one we go for.
Any recommendations on a decent but reasonably priced one for a newbie to Japanese whisky that I can pick up somewhere by Friday evening?

Asking you as you seem quite well informed on this but anyone welcome to chip in.

Ha, If you had read my comments from a few pages back about Japanese whisky you might not have ;)
If you've never had any japanese whisky then you can't go too wrong with Hibiki Harmony or Nikka from the barrel, they're pretty good representations of the Japanese style and you can usually find them in any supermarket that has a half decent whisky section. I don't think I know anyone that hasn't liked those two.
The problem with Japanese whisky is anything with an age statement is going to cost more that £100 at the cheapest.

Another comically over priced 'Japanese' whisky.
