Another Japanese blended whisky
Suntory Toki or Nikka Days go in at the same measure. Nikka From the Barrel is 51.4%, so use about a fifth less, or accept a stronger cocktail.
Non-smoky blended Scotch or Irish whiskey
Works in the same amount.
Japanese single malt
Goes in at the same measure and makes a richer cocktail.
Peated Scotch whisky
Skip it. The smoke will take over completely.
Description
The big Japanese houses distill both the malt and the grain themselves rather than trading casks, so a blend is usually assembled inside one company.
