This year's ultimate Christmas gift for whisky lovers is the award-winning The Japanese Way of Whisky, fully updated for 2025.

Award-winning author and Japanese whisky expert, Dave Broom, tells the stories of Japan's whisky distilleries, unveiling the philosophy that lies behind this fascinating whisky culture, and revealing how it relates to many Japanese concepts.

Dave looks at the history and output of each distillery, considering the elements that make that particular whisky what it is, and including tasting notes. Features on aspects of Japanese life and culture that are crucial to a wider understanding, from the importance of the seasons to the role of craftsmanship, add to the picture. Interwoven throughout the book is the fascinating narrative of the journey across Japan which Dave made with photographer Kohei Take, offering further insight into the country which creates this wonderful drink and making this a must-have edition for any whisky lover, whisky drinker, whisky collector or Japanophile.
