Whisky Rising: The Second Edition | Stefan Van Eycken

Whisky Rising: The Second Edition by Stefan Van Eycken is one of the most complete English-language books on Japanese whisky. This fully updated second edition takes readers into the heart of Japan’s whisky world, where tradition, precision, craft and innovation meet.

Van Eycken explains why Japanese whisky has attracted such global attention. Japanese producers build on Scottish and American influences, while adding their own philosophy, terroir, wood use and approach to flavour. The result is a style that remains recognisably Japanese while staying connected to the wider whisky tradition.

This edition gives extensive attention to new craft distilleries, their stories, their production setups and their ideas for the future of Japanese whisky. It also includes interviews and profiles of celebrated distillers and blenders, bringing the people behind the whisky clearly into view.

Whisky Rising is more than a distillery guide. The book also includes insider recommendations for whisky bars, advice on how to drink whisky, cocktail recipes and tasting notes for leading Japanese whiskies. It is suitable both for readers discovering Japanese whisky and for experienced enthusiasts who want deeper insight.

With 640 pages, this is a substantial and richly detailed reference work for anyone interested in Japanese whisky, blends, single malts, craft distilleries, tasting culture and the international rise of whisky from Japan.
