A very interesting article, thanks for posting the link.
I recently spent some time in Japan and visited the Hakushu, Yoichi and Yamazaki distilleries. They each had information about the history of the distilleries; and at the time I found the story of Rita and her husband to be particularly interesting.
Incidentally, the whisky was also phenomenal!
