Single malt whiskey is often associated with Scotland, but its story has become much larger.
For this tasting, we are bringing together four distinctive single malts from Japan, the United States, Scotland, and Ireland. Each begins with malted barley, yet each producer creates something entirely different through its climate, distillation methods, cask choices, and sense of place.

Produced at Kurayoshi Distillery in Japanโs Tottori Prefecture, Matsuiโs single malts are known for combining a polished malt character with unusual Japanese cask influences, creating whiskey that is elegant, aromatic, and distinctly different from traditional Scotch.

Westland has spent more than a decade exploring what American single malt can become when it reflects the ingredients and landscape of the Pacific Northwest. Garryana 10 is their first age-stated whiskey and is matured for ten years.

The Glenrothes represents the traditional Scottish foundation of this tasting. Located in Speyside, the distillery is especially known for fruit-forward spirit and the influence of sherry-seasoned oak. This single malt has matured for 15 years in European oak casks seasoned with sherry.

Limavady brings the Irish interpretation of single malt to the table. Made from 100% malted Irish barley, the whiskey is triple distilled, matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, and finished in Pedro Ximรฉnez sherry casks.
JIMโS NOTES
Japan brings precision and delicacy. Westland uses local grain and native Pacific Northwest oak to create something unmistakably American. Glenrothes gives us the depth and maturity of a classic 15-year-old Speyside whisky. Limavady shows how Irelandโs triple distillation and creative barrel finishing can produce a softer but still richly flavored single malt.
