Prepare your palate's passport for Iwai Japanese Whisky

Most Japanese whiskies have a distinct flavor profile similar to a light scotch, but the newly available Iwai Japanese Whisky has a bourbon quality along with scotch-like maltiness. Primarily made from corn and aged in used bourbon barrels, it’s also more available and affordable than other fine Japanese whiskies. A simple blend of Iwai and club soda is the perfect complement to light seafood dishes or your favorite sushi. $29. Available at The Wine and Cheese Place
