Learn to read a Japanese whisky label, order with confidence, and understand the bar rituals behind every pour.

Japanese whisky wins world awards every year, yet most drinkers cannot read the label or name a single distillery; a few hours here changes every bottle you pick up.

By the end

You will be able to walk into a Japanese whisky bar or liquor shop, recognise the major styles and brands, order exactly what you want in Japanese, and understand why the whisky tastes the way it does.

Who this is for
