A unique premium whiskey with a “vibrant” taste of dark chocolate aromas and light bitter notes. On the one hand, barley malt expands earthy notes, while on the other hand, fresh fruit is reminiscent of a rich harvest with floral notes. The majority of it contains malt whiskey from Nikka’s two distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo.
This iconic Japanese blended whiskey, “The Nikka Tailored“, is a creation of the know-how and skills of Nikka master blenders.
The Japanese art that goes by the name of Nikka whiskey is the “child” of Masataka Taketsuru, the first person to create Japanese whiskey. With extensive experience in the distillation of Scotch malt, in 1933 he opened his own distillery with the aim of creating his own premium Japanese whiskey. Today, Nikka Japanese whiskeys have 2 distilleries, one in Hokkaido (Yoici Distillery) and one in Miyagi (Miyagikyo/Sendai Distillery). Yoichi is the last distillery in Japan that uses coal heating, something that helps to preserve the traditional character of the spirit. On the other hand, in Miyagikyo, lighter and fruitier whisky is produced, similar to those of the Lowlands of Scotland. It is noteworthy that here they mix malt whisky with grain whisky, a process that very few distilleries in Scotland do.
