Japanese Blended Whiskies have increased in demand recently with a whiskies award going to Suntory Hibiki 30-Year-Old Blended Whisky in 2007, and also 2008 for the best-blended whisky is the world. This has made the world whiskies market take notice of Japanese whisky even more, and the international demand for these whisky brands will increase steadily over the years ahead as market strength will grow for demand.
The high quality of the blends that are coming out from Japan are staggering, and one that Planet Whiskies is excited to see. While in Australia last year, we noticed the boom in Japanese whisky while in the country, so it looks like Japan's whisky market is just going to go from strength to strength. We also look forward into the future more aged blends appearing on our shelves and of course on this page for Japanese Blended Whisky.
