As the Festive Season begins in earnest in many places around the world, I’d like the wish those are who are celebrating, a very happy and most importantly safe Christmas. I would also like to thank everyone for their patronage of The Japanese Whisky Review over the past year. The number of readers has far exceeded my expectations. I’ll be capping off my year with a trip up to Osaka and looking forward as always to tasting some fantastic Japanese Whisky.
Thanks for all your reviews, Brian! Have fun in Osaka!
Thank you. Hopefully will get to taste some interesting stuff when I’m there. Fun will be had. : )
All the best, Brian – have a great trip to Osaka & a flying start to 2014!
Cheers Alan. All the best to you and yours!
Merry Christmas Brian. Looking forward to what 2014 has installed. Enjoy the festive season.
Merry Christmas Clint. We’ll be kicking off with some highballs in our hotel in a few days. See you there.
Happy Christmas Brian :). Keep up the good work. And Happy Christmas to everyone in the JWR community.
Cheers Pete, you as well. See you’ve been on a small Japanese Whisky buying spree lately. Well done : )
Cheers. It had to be done. I see the retailers here followed TWE example in bumping the annual releases from £65 to £100. I stocked up on a few older bottlings at the older price — before it was too late. Plus a few 2013s.
Have a good trip Brian.
I echo your holiday greetings, Brian. It has always been fun and interesting to read your reviews, and I do hope that you’ll continue posting them in 2014. Also, I could not think of a better way to finish a “whisky year”. Enjoy, safe travels, and write soon!
Cheers Pierre. Might write up a couple of bar reviews when I’m there. Let’s see where Clint takes me. : )
