Here are some pictures of the whiskies that I tasted at Liquors Hasegawa. I've tried a few other whiskies but I forgot to take pictures of them. It really is an education to be able to try so many different types of whiskies.

| Green Label and Black Label |

| The Laddie Ten and Old Pultney 12 |
When I took the two bottles of Johnnie Walker to the counter, I told the shop assistant that there wasn't enough Blue Label for a tasting. She agreed and only charged me 100 yen for the small sample. I enjoyed both Johnnies but I preferred the Green Lable more because it had more character. The Blue Label was far too easy and smooth to drink. And for the price tag of around 12,000 yen I could buy two bottles of fine single malt.
Next I tried Bruichladdich's The Laddie Ten which is an unpeated Islay whisky. The other was a standard bottle of Old Pultney 12 from the Highlands. Two very different malts but both very well made. I look forward to trying these out again.
