Single malt whiskey of the brandJury in the compositionSixteen experts selected Yoichi from more than two hundred varieties submitted for the competition for its "perfect combination of smoky and currant flavors, explosive aroma and long and pleasant aftertaste." In their opinion, the Japanese managed to bypass the Scots - the recognized leaders in whiskey production - due to the fact that Japan has a more changeable climate, which contributes to better maturation of the drink. In addition, they noted the traditional whiskey brewing technologies used by the Japanese, such as coal-fired stills, which have long been out of use in whiskey production in Scotland. According to jury chairman Dave Broom, Japanese whiskey brands began to gain popularity after revenues from domestic sales began to fall in the mid-nineties. Then Japanese producers concentrated on the production of single malt export whiskey, which turned out to be of very high quality. Single malt whiskey is considered classic and enjoys great authority among lovers of this drink all over the world. And the most famous whiskeys in the world are Scotch and American brands.
