Correct title, “Why Japanese Whiskey is so Trendy and Hard to Find”

Japanese whiskey hasn’t changed meaningfully in decades yet it’s become scarce (even in Japan) in the last few years. Yes it’s good, but it’s not magically distinctive as these instant aficionados suggest.

To see how trendy Japanese Whiskey is, I did a Google search with keyword "Why Japanese Whiskey is..." and there are at least a dozen articles from different media writing the same thing as this OP's article.

Google Trends has some interesting data on this one, not only did it seemingly come up for almost no interest but it's popular in the "hip" states: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=j...

More like popular in the more affluent states. That map is eerily similar to a map of GDP per capita by state.

Maybe there's an industry trade group that does marketing?
