Shamefully, I've yet to try any of the Japanese whiskeys. I her they can be superb. For myself, I tend to prefer the Irish - Powers, Bushmills, Jamesons... Little bit smoother than the Scotch Single Malts. Makes more of a difference if I'm drinking straight rather than with a mixer. (Jamesons works lovely with a ginger mixer, or in a cocktail). Of the American bourbons, I used to like Jack Daniels, but as the label has become trendier, it's gotten silly expensive and I don't think it's worth it over the competition. Jim Beam is a superior drop, imo. I've been known to order Knob Creek, because I've never gotten past the funny name. It's not bad stuff, though.
