The Opulence and Precision of a Japanese Whisky
The Nikka House: The Essence of Japanese Whisky
Visionary and pioneering, the Nikka House is now recognized as a symbol of Japanese whisky. Its founder, Masataka Taketsuru, laid the foundations of this renowned industry in Japan. Thanks to its iconic square-shaped bottle, the "Nikka From The Barrel," the Nikka House enjoys worldwide renown.
Production Process
The Taketsuru Pure Malt pays tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, founder of Nikka and known as the father of Japanese whisky. Renowned for his meticulous quest for perfection in blending his whiskies, Taketsuru profoundly influenced Nikka in the creation of this malt. Crafted from a blend of selected casks from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, this whisky stands out for its remarkable balance, combining subtle sweetness with deep complexity.
