Correct, it is Single Malt Whisky from Japan, only SMWs from Scotland can be called Scotch. If you really want to splurge, buy the Laphroig 30 yr. THe Balvenie 17 sherry cask is nice too but the Laph 30 is dynamite and very expensive.

Coffee is my go to if i can. Then coke.

I'm thinking a maduro would pair nicely with this favorite of mine.

never had the 30yr but Laphroig is my absolute favorite scotch, especially the quarter cask.

Thanks. That's what I found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_whisky under the Legal definition section and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_Whisky_Act_1988 under Scotch Whisky Act 1988.

Let me add that whatever you want to call it... Yamazaki is still very good with a cigar IMO.
