Japan produces the world's best whisky

The newspaper comments on a report by Whisky Magazine in which experts named a product of the Japanese Nikka brewery the world's best whisky: "In 1918 the young Masakatsu Taketsuru - the descendent of a family of sake producers - travelled from Japan to distant Scotland to learn how to distil whisky. The product of the distillery he later founded has now surpassed that of his former teachers. What is unfortunate is that the Scottish distillers did not learn how to make sake, which could have paved the way for a mutual learning experience. If they had, now that Japan has become market leader in the production of Scottish whisky, Scotland could have returned the compliment and produced the world's best sake."
