History

The exact origins of the Whisky Highball are uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in the United States during the late 19th century. The term "highball" comes from the railroad industry, where it was used to describe a train running smoothly and at high speed. The drink was named after this term because of the tall glass it is traditionally served in, similar to the tall glasses used for water on trains.

The highball is an international cocktail and gained popularity in Japan during the early 20th century and became associated with Japanese whiskey culture. In fact, the term "whisky highball" is often used in Japan as a synonym for whiskey and soda. Today, the Whisky Highball remains a popular and refreshing drink enjoyed by whisky and whiskey lovers all over the world.
