The Team • August 15, 2025

Whether you're a long-time whisky lover or just curious about what all the fuss is about, Shooters Sports Bar & Grill is your go-to spot in Nagoya for a whisky experience like no other. From smooth bourbons to peaty Islay single malts, we’ve built a collection that takes you on a journey through the world of whisky - one sip at a time.

🧠 Whisky 101: Know Your Styles

Not all whiskies are created equal - here's a quick guide to understanding the main types:

Single Malt Scotch:

Made from 100% malted barley at a single distillery in Scotland. Known for rich and complex flavors.

Bourbon:

A U.S. classic, made mostly from corn. It's sweet, full-bodied, and often aged in new charred oak barrels.

Irish Whiskey:

Typically triple-distilled for smoothness, often lighter and fruitier than Scotch.

Blended Scotch:

A mix of single malt and grain whiskies, offering balance, consistency, and approachability.
