This episode dives deep into the 2023 Tsunuki Single Malt Japanese Whisky—one of the most talked-about bottles coming out of Japan right now. We break it down properly: nose, palate, finish, and whether it actually lives up to the hype or just looks pretty on a shelf.
JP also gets into the real perks of the job—like access to events most people only hear about, including Tre Bicchieri, where the guys hit two very different masterclasses. One? A heavy hitter lineup of aged amaros, including bottles pushing 20 years old (the kind of stuff you don’t just casually “try”). The other? Let’s just say… not every class deserves applause—and we explain exactly why.
Somewhere in between serious tasting notes and industry talk, things go off the rails—JP hears a guy absolutely losing a battle in the bathroom, because of course he does.
The night wraps up the right way with dinner at Emilio’s Ballato—old-school Italian, elite food, strong drinks, no nonsense. Exactly how it should be.
If you’re into Japanese whisky, rare amaros, behind-the-scenes access to the wine world, and a little Bronx-style reality mixed in, this one’s for you.
