  3. Summer Spirits: Hamish's Favourite Japanese Whiskies

    Summer Spirits: Hamish's Favourite Japanese Whiskies

    Ever since my holiday to Japan earlier on in the summer for Suntory's 100th anniversary, I've had a hankering for Japanese whisky. Although Scotch will always have my heart, I can definitely appreciate the craftmanship of our former copycats. The founding fathers of the Japanese whisky industry learned their craft from Scottish distilleries, with Nikka Whisky's creator having cut his teeth at Speyside's Longmorn distillery and Suntory's founder choosing the location of Yamazaki because the climate was similar to our glorious Scottish Highlands. After 100 years however, Japanese whisky has grown to be in a league of its own - a few are some of the most collectable whiskies in the world. Here are my favourites:

One of the most popular white spirits out there, vodka is an essential base for all of my cocktail wonders. Although it can certainly be enjoyed neat, poured over ice or straight from the freezer.

    Summer Spirits: Hamish's Favourite Rums

    Rum, its not just for sailors and pina coladas you know! It's one of the most versatile and tasty spirits out there, wonderful as a sipper, and equally wonderful with a variety of mixers.
