How to serve and drink Japanese whisky

There are many ways to serve and enjoy whisky, each highlighting different characteristics of this exceptional spirit. Some styles, such as Mizuwari, are deeply rooted in Japanese culture, others, like whisky on the rocks or neat, are timeless classics enjoyed worldwide. Using Japanese whisky in these serves elevates the experience with its unique flavor profiles, a reflection of the meticulous Japanese whisky crafting process at House of Suntory. 

Each expression is crafted with a distinct purpose, offering unique nuances in taste and aroma. A refreshing highball is best enjoyed with Toki or Kakubin blended whiskies, while savoring the Yamazaki 25 Mizunara neat reveals not only remarkable depth and elegance, but also the rare character of Japanese oak. However you choose to serve it, Suntory whisky transforms every moment into an unforgettable experience.
