Shochu Pros Shochu’sday #39: Origins of Japanese Whisk(e)y

This week’s episode spins us in a different direction as our Japan Distilled podcast to drop on Monday covers the origins of Japanese whisky. In this episode we will tell a specific story from the podcast about a Japanese chemist named Jokichi Takamine who is very likely to have been the first person ever to make whisky, but he did it in Peoria, Illinois of all places.

Tune in, as almost always, to Christopher’s instagram feed.

Just a head’s up. We will be moving away from Instagram after Episode 40 as we start on a new platform.
