TASTING NOTES
A clean fresh nose of peat, light smoke and spice, on the palate more light peat with some rounded vanilla and tobacco coming from the oak casks, excellent finish balance between the fruit and oak with some light fruit and flower elements coming through.
BACKGROUND
The Nikka Whisky Co. was founded by Masataka Taketsuru, who is widely acknowledged as the father of Japanese whisky. In 1918 he travelled to Scotland, where he learnt the secrets of whisky-making. In 1920 he returned to Japan and worked with a company to produce Japan’s first whisky. It soon became apparent that to produce whisky the way he felt it should be made, Masataka would have to become independent. In 1934 Masataka established Nikka Whisky and built its first distillery in Yoichi, Hokkaido, which he had always considered to be the ideal whisky-making site in Japan. Today Nikka has two large distilleries and several blending and bottling plants and is now part of the Asahi Group. Over the decades Nikka has become a fixture in Japan, known for its passion for quality and flavour.
