  "textContent": "Japanese whisky doesn’t have as long a history as other spirits categories. It more than makes up for its shortened timeline with a reputation for producing outstanding liquid, and this penchant for excellence makes Japan home to some of the whiskey world’s most desired bottles. It’s also yielded quite a few labels that require consumers to dig a little deeper into their wallet and splurge.

Shelling out money for juice that ultimately disappoints never feels good regardless of the economy’s status.\n\nThe article We Asked 10 Bartenders: Which Japanese Whisky Is Worth the Splurge? appeared first on VinePair.",
