Nikka Whiskey was established in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, the first Japanese to ever study the art of whisky production. He built the company's first distillery in Yoichi, Hokkaido, a location which he had always considered to be ideal for whisky production, similar in many ways to the Scottish town where he had studied. Miyagikyo, Nikka's second distillery, was built in 1969 in Sendai, Honshu, another pristine location perfectly suited to whisky production. Distilled in Nikka Whisky's signature Coffey still, a still normally used for grain whiskey production, this is a rich and mellow spirit characterized by a luxurious and silky texture. Aromatic complexity relies on the refreshing burst of citrus, delicate fruitiness of apples and hints of pepper. This is a limited production of only 12,000 bottles.
