Nonjatta: Whisky Round Table on new spirit

The Edinburgh whisky blog is hosting this month's Whisky Round Table, to which Nonjatta contributes. This month's discussion is about new spirit bottlings.

About this site

Nonjatta is maintained by a team of Japanese whisky enthusiasts living both inside and outside Japan. It was founded in 2007 by Chris Bunting.

The current regular contributors includes:

Stefan - A composer, teacher and whisky enthusiast based in Tokyo. Stefan operates his own blog at Tokyo Whisky Hub, which covers the entire Tokyo whisky scene encompassing Scotch and other global whiskies, but cross posts entries directly related to Japanese whisky on Nonjatta.

Ruben of WhiskyNotes - Supplying Nonjatta with in-depth tasting notes whilst keeping an eye on the reception of Japanese whiskies on the European front.

Among the contributors over the years are:

AshDLS - A Japanese whisky fan currently living in Australia. He has spent time in Japan and has a talent for uncovering rare bottlings.

Ulf Buxrud - Author and long time fan of Japanese whisky. He published the first book in English devoted entirely to Japanese whisky in 2008.

Nicholas Coldicott - Writer for the Japan Times and numerous other publications. Knows more about the whole Japanese drinks scene than anyone I know.

John Hawkins - used to live in Japan and had some great tips on Tokyo's whisky bars at the time.

Daniel Mick - An English teacher in Gifu, Japan. Nonjatta introduction.

Takeshi Mogi - An incredible gentleman who has been extremely helpful in my faltering attempts to get my head around Japanese whisky. He kept the Japanese Whisky Web (now no longer online, but it was the original Japanese Whisky website in English) . I talk about him more here.

Hasse Nilsson - Chairman of the Växjö Malt Whisky Society, one of the most active and knowledgeable whisky clubs in the world.

Nick Sikorski - Nick is a Japanese specialist and is a key figure at La Maison du Whisky of Paris, one of the two main importers pioneering Japanese whisky in Europe.
