I was never a fan of alcoholic drinks. I often refuse invitations to business dinners and other socialising events because it would involve drinking alcohol. It’s not like I have a low alcohol tolerance, it’s just that I can’t take the taste of beer. It’s the metallic, rustic taste that turns me off. I know beer is a staple drink in social parties so I refuse them as much as possible. Good thing, I discovered this delicious Japanese drink— whisky.
What Makes Japanese Whisky Unique?
This isn’t like those Scotch drinks that originated in Scotland. Although the distillation process is quite similar, the Japanese whisky has a distinctive taste because each distillery in Japan has a unique blending process. Out of all the Japanese whiskies that I can buy online, I like the Hakushu whisky the most! This is one of the famous brands of the Suntory Mountain Forest Distillery. I just love how fragrant these drinks are that I can smell its floral aroma once I open a bottle! Even most of my friends love it! They always anticipate getting a sip of it during get-togethers
Difficulties in Buying Japanese Whisky
Even though the popularity of Japanese whisky continues to rise worldwide, it is hard to obtain even just one bottle of it! I found out that there are limited distilleries in Japan so it’s quite rare to find them in supermarkets and other grocery stores. Plus, I found out that some of the famous brands such as the Hibiki 17 Years Old, and Hakushu 12 Year are going to be discontinued! I was horrified when I learned about the news so before it ran out, I decided to order a few bottles.
Even in Tokyo, Japan, the supplies for premium Japanese whiskies continue to plummet. It’s quite difficult to find them, and if ever you did become lucky to find a single bottle, it is going to cost you a fortune!
Reliable Online Store
Fortunately, there are online stores in Singapore where you can buy authentic whisky! There is this particular online store that I always go to whenever I run out of whisky. Out of all the stores, I love this shop the most because of their attractive promotions! I get to score huge discounts and because of this, I can now store up bottles of Hakushu whisky in my cupboard! Imagine, I can purchase an authentic Japanese alcoholic drink for less than 10% - 30% of their original price! Sometimes, it comes in a bundle promo so I don’t just get 2 bottles, but 3 or 5 more of them!
Another reason why I chose them is that they offer free delivery services for customers who are ordering products that have a total purchase of $100 and above! This is a huge advantage for me because I often order lots of different Japanese whiskeys so I always get to enjoy these perks! Moreover, the orders come in as fast as a week. I don’t have to wait for a long time anymore just to get my hands over those delicious malt whisky! So far, there weren’t any delays that have happened before, and there were no damaged bottles that were brought to me. Although there was one time that I received a slightly cracked bottle of whisky before. Good thing, they delivered the replacement immediately to me! I commend their great customer service! They truly are a trusted and experienced distributor of wines and other alcoholic beverages in Singapore!
Unexpected Health Benefits of Drinking Whisky
I just can’t get enough of this unique Asian drink ever since I found out that there are also some health benefits of drinking it! However, of course, I know I should drink it in moderation since we all know anything excessive is bad for your health.
Whenever I get really stressed and feel down because of work, I would sometimes take a sip of whiskey. Before, I just took a hot chocolate drink to make me feel better, but I am an adult now and chocolate drinks just give me a sore throat. So, I decided to seldom take a quick drink of this alcoholic beverage. It helps me feel relaxed and I don’t feel those anxious thoughts starting to creep back on my head anymore. So, for me, Japanese whiskeys are like my stress reliever. However, I try not to rely too much on it since I don’t want to end up like a drunkard. I still chose to open a bottle mostly only on special occasions.
Furthermore, it’s a great drink to take after eating a buffet meal because it doesn’t make me feel too bloated. It would help to make me feel better and less nauseous so I often serve this during birthdays and get-togethers.
I am so thankful for Platinum Wines & Spirits because they always provide me with quality whiskeys! If you are also a fan of Japanese whisky, then buy at their online store now!
