Japan's whisky is not like Scotch. Japanese whiskies are made most commonly from barley and distilled in a continuous still (as opposed to the pot stills used for Scotch). Suntory, Yamazaki, and Hakushu (all owned by Kirin) all age their malt in casks that previously held bourbon, sherry, or other types of wine.
The Yamazaki Distillery is Japan's first and oldest malt whisky distillery established in 1923 by Suntory's founder Shinjiro Torii. Inspired by traditional Scottish whisky, Torii envisioned a Japanese approach by choosing a terrain and climate completely different to those of Scotland to create a unique kind of whisky.
