The Nikka Super Rare Old takes a special place in the line-up of this Japanese whisky brand. It was first created in 1962 by founder Masataka Taketsuru, not long after the death of his Scottish wife Rita, to represent his deep love for her. Without her help he could never have accomplished his dream of making genuine Japanese whisky. A large portion of the Nikka Super Rare Old consists of malt whisky produced at the iconic distilleries Yoichi and Miyagikyo.
