On another note, I have been gifted a Japanese (scotch) whiskey advent calendar this year. My general consensus for most of these scotches is this: They are nicely balanced, but lack significant flavor or body or color. A very Japanese-style take on the product. Not bad, but just doesn't hit you the same way.
Some of them have been downright bad though. Not every Japanese whiskey is worth drinking.

I'm not big on the Japanese whiskies either. I do agree that there seems to be something missing there. They're not terrible, but not great. I'm kind of on a Lagavulin kick for some reason. I do generally prefer the Islay scotches, and always lean that way, so I guess that's not surprising.
