Nikka was founded in 1934, when Masataka Taketsuru built his first distillery after Scotch's example in northern Japan, the Yoichi, where a strong smoky whisky is made. In 1969 they joined the Miyagikyou, near Tokyo, where they make a soft accessible whisky. This Nikka Blended Whisky shows off the skills of the company's blenders. Packed full of fruit with vanilla notes, all very well balanced, this is a perfect entry point into the world of Japanese whisky.
