What is Japanese whisky all about? This beginner and intermediate friendly course answers this burning question and more, led by our Spirits Portfolio Manager De'Andre Crenshaw. This seminar will cover history, production, and current trends, plus a guided tasting comprised of five prominent Japanese whiskies.
