CNN journalist Paula Newton is waiting to try the world's best whisky at The Society bar at the Shiodome Park Hotel in Tokyo. Her verdict? "The drink was very good."

Newton is shooting a new segment for her show "On the Road," which takes her around the world to explore the culture, politics and trends of a given country. This episode has brought her to Japan.

As a journalist at CNN for 10 years, Newton has traveled the globe covering hard news stories, but, she says, "On the Road" allows her to show her audience something different.
