A Japanese Whisky became the world's best whisky
A Japanese single malt whisky was named the world's best for the first time by a prestigious guide released Monday, which failed to place a Scotch in its top ranking.
The Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 was described as “thick, dry, as rounded as a snooker ball” by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, which awarded it a record-equalling 97.5 points out of 100.
Three bourbons from the US took second, third and fourth places — William Larue Weller, Sazerac Rye 18 Year Old and Four Roses.
Whisky has been made commercially in Japan since the 1920s after a Japanese student who studied in Glasgow, Masataka Taketsuru, moved home with his Scottish wife and helped start the Yamazaki distillery near Kyoto. (MTI, hvg.hu)
