With the Japanese whisky industry recently redefining its standards for what qualifies as "Japanese Whisky," a wave of new and innovative whisky expressions are starting to hit the U.S. market from Japanese distilleries. From Koji-fermented whiskies to unique rice-based expressions, it's time to dive into the world of Japanese whiskies and its groundbreaking distilleries like never before.
Join New York Adventure Club for a curated whisky and tasting experience that pairs exciting expressions from a host of Japanese distilleries with expertly chosen chocolate and savory snacks, highlighting the artistry behind every sip and bite.
Led by Whisky Specialist Holly Seidewand, this interactive journey will include:
- An overview of Japan’s new whisky regulations, and what they mean for the bottles you see on U.S. shelves today
- Insights into the innovative distilleries revolutionizing the category with styles like Koji-fermented and rice whiskies
- A primer on how to see, smell, and taste whisky, along with some important do's and don'ts
- A guided tasting of five fantastic whiskies (see 'Whisky & Snack Kits' section below for more details)
- A curated selection of five chocolates from Saratoga Candy Co. — or five savory treats — specially paired with each whisky (see 'Whisky & Snack Kits' section below for more details)
Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Holly — any and all questions about the featured whiskies or snacks are welcomed and encouraged!

About Holly
Holly became a single malt enthusiast during her time working in retail store design in New York City. Not finding an education that was fitting to further her knowledge of whisky, she created her own study program by visiting over 130 distilleries throughout the world to interview producers, evaluate whiskies, and learn everything she could about the industry.
Holly has worked at Knockdhu Distillery (anCnoc) and Gordon’s Fine Wine & Spirits, and more recently held the role of North American Brand Ambassador for the Dewar’s Single Malt Portfolio, which includes Aberfeldy, Craigellachie, Aultmore, Royal Brackla, and The Deveron. She has always had an affinity for the History of Scotch and Irish Whiskey and can’t wait to share a dram with everyone!
You can follow her whisky journey on her blog and on Instagram @herwhiskylove.
