The Experience

You'll taste four award-winning Japanese whiskies that are usually expensive and hard to find on their own. Hibiki 21 leads the flight, followed by three non-aged expressions from Yamazaki, Hakushu, and Chita. Each pour comes with a tasting notes chart and an original instruction video showing how each whisky is made and what to listen for in the flavor profile.

After the four-glass flight, the blind tasting game begins. You'll taste three whiskies without knowing which is which (Chivas Regal Mizunara 18, Hakushu non-aged, and today's special), and try to identify them. A live guide in English leads the whole session, introducing the mysterious charms of Japanese whisky that set these expressions apart from other whisky regions.
