This is a 2-hour masterclass featuring 11 rare drams and a welcome highball from my private collection, offering a lineup that would cost over $300 (¥45,000) at a typical Tokyo bar. Chocolates to enhance the whisky drinking experience are also provided. Foundational tastings from legendary producers like Suntory and Nikka to establish the classic Japanese flavor profile and proper tasting techniques. Journey into liquid history with rare vintages from the 1960s to 1980s and lost "ghost" distilleries like Karuizawa. Taste a super-premium, long-aged "Collector's Dram" that provides a once-in-a-lifetime pour unavailable on standard public menus. Indulge in drams from the modern craft boom, featuring a flight from Ichiro’s Malt and the new wave of third-generation Japanese distillers. An educational deep-dive to master authenticity, covering how to spot fake export labels, the influence of Mizunara oak and terroir, and the impact of the 2024 whisky laws. Exclusive parting gifts including my handmade maps and local guides to help you continue your whisky journey in Tokyo.
