Japanese Whisky Explained: Hibiki, Hakushu, Iwai and Kurayoshi
by Kosher Wine Direct October 06, 2026

Japanese whisky is spelled without the e, follows Scotland rather than Ireland, and the bottle most people are looking for is Hibiki Japanese Harmony at $149.99. Six whiskies from $44.99 to $299.99 compared: Suntory's Hibiki blend and the Hakushu 12 Year single malt, the two Mars Iwai bottles from Japan's highest-altitude distillery, the easy-drinking Sensei, and Kurayoshi Pure Malt from Tottori. What single malt, blended and pure malt actually mean, what Mizunara oak does, how to build a proper highball, and a straight answer on kosher certification.
