A coworker had requested that I bring back some Japanese whisky, and since I didn't really know of good varieties, I referred to the Google oracle. (Once I'd tried some Nikka Black or somesuch and didn't care for it. However, that's before my tastes in alcohol became more refined.) An article that popped up noted that in 2008, Nikka Yoichi of the 20-yr-old variety took first place in Whisky Magazine's world competition for single malt, and Suntory Hibiki was the best blended whisky.
I bet that pissed off the Scots, getting owned by Japanese whisky on both awards in one year.
