The history of Nikka Whisky

The Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi is produced by the Nikka beverage company in Japan. Its origins go back to 1934, when the then forty-year-old Japanese Masataka Taketsuru founded the Nikka company. The young Taketsuru went to Glasgow as a student in 1918 to study brewing technology. However, he soon realized that his passion was whisky and so he continued his studies in the Craggellachie, Lagavulin and Hazelburn distilleries, where he learned the art of distilling. After several years of teaching, he returned to Japan with his Scottish wife, whom he had married in the meantime, and took a job as production manager at the Yamazaki Distillery.

Yamazaki was the first and only distillery in Japan at the time, and together with its boss Shinjiro Torii, Taketsuru brought the first whisky from Japan onto the market in 1929. Five years later, they parted ways and Masataka Taketsuru set up his own business with the Nikka Distillery. He got himself a small pot still and chose the small town of Yoichi on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido as the location for the Nikka distillery. The climatic conditions in Yoichi are similar to those in Scotland, which is why he found all the raw materials necessary for the production of Nikka whisky in the best quality. In 1940, Taketsuru was finally able to officially bring the first Nikka whisky onto the market, but had to cease production during the Second World War. After the end of the war, Nikka whisky went steadily uphill. Nikka now has several distilleries and is the second best-selling whisky in the country.

The production of the Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi

The Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi is still produced in the original Nikka distillery in Yoichi. There it is produced in a very traditional way using the methods learned by Masataka Taketsuru in Scotland. The pot stills in Yoichi, for example, are fired with charcoal and the whisky is then carefully stored in oak barrels and finally bottled at a strong 45% ABV.

The taste of the Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi

The Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi is probably one of the most typical whiskies from Nikka. On the nose, the Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi has a delicate smoky aroma and pleasant fruity notes. On the palate, the Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi presents fine malty aromas that end in a silky smooth aftertaste. We recommend the Nikka Single Malt Whisky Yoichi to anyone who wants to approach Japanese whisky in an uncomplicated way.

Hibiki Suntory Whisky Japanese Harmony 0,7L 43%

Hibiki Suntory Whisky Japanese Harmony 0.7L 43% History and production of the Hibiki Japanese Harmony: Japanese whiskies are undeniably trendy. The gentle character in combination with the fresh, fruity bouquet and the mild taste always inspires enthusiasm. And that applies to long-time connoisseurs and beginners alike. The Japanese whisky makers are known for their meticulousness, hard work and sense of tradition. This gives them a veritable reputation. The true skill, however, manifests itself in the incomparable blending art of the Japanese. In no other country in the world are such balanced and extremely harmonious whiskies created by mixing different individual distillates. The Hibiki Japanese Harmony falls into exactly that category, which is not surprising when you consider the name. For production, the company's own grain and single malt whiskies are combined in an elegant way. The Hibiki Japanese Harmony is therefore a perfect introduction to Japanese whisky culture. The constant striving for perfection for the Japanese whisky masters goes far beyond the actual production of the whisky. Therefore, the Hibiki Japanese Harmony is presented in a glass bottle designed with great attention to detail. The 24 finely ground facets on the outside symbolize the seasons of the lunar calendar and the label is made of handmade Echizen paper. This visually underlines the magnificent taste and the external appearance corresponds to the high-quality contents. Taste of the Hibiki Japanese Harmony: The Hibiki Japanese Harmony flows into the glass highly viscous and elegant. The color is reminiscent of polished amber and shimmers wonderfully in the backlight. Rich aromas of rose petals, lavender, apples, pears, cherries and lychees are interwoven on the nose. In the background, there is also a slightly herbal note with hints of rosemary, thyme and coriander. Spicy oak rounds off the aroma wonderfully elegantly and at the same time provides additional complexity. On the tongue, the Hibiki Japanese Harmony is wonderfully soft and gentle. Delicate notes of honey, vanilla, candied fruit, oranges and dark chocolate come to the fore and are supported by a solid oak base. The finish of the Hibiki Japanese Harmony is comparatively long and full-bodied. The pleasant sweetness remains, and hints of coconut and a great spiciness also appear. The Hibiki Japanese Harmony lives up to its name and is a perfect example of the elegance and complexity of Japanese blended whiskies.

Nikka Tailored Blended Whisky 0,7L 43%

Nikka Tailored Blended Whisky 0.7L 43% Whisky from the top segment After the Japanese Msataka Taketsuru discovered his passion for whisky, his desire for more and more knowledge and to learn the art of distilling became so great that he decided to travel to the land of whisky, Scotland, to gain all the knowledge he could about the distillate. Driven by the vision of one day being able to produce his own Japanese whisky, Taketsuru absorbed every knowledge that had anything to do with whisky. After returning from Scotland, it took a few more years, but finally in 1934 he founded his own distillery, the Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido. A few years later, a second distillery followed, the Miyagikyo, where he wanted to produce whisky for blending in the Scottish style. Unfortunately, Taketsuru did not live to see much of his true success with the high-quality products, as he died in 1979. Nikka Tailored The aroma of the blended whisky impresses with round, fruity notes. In addition to apple, you can recognize apricot and white fruits along with notes of honey and dark chocolate. On the palate, the fruity-sweet notes are more reminiscent of baked cake with vanilla, as well as dark chocolate and citrus notes such as lemon and candied orange. The finish again reveals gentle vanilla and fruity-tart notes, accompanied by fine roasted aromas.

Nikka Peated Single Malt Whisky Miyagikyo Discovery Series 0,7L 48%

Nikka Peated Single Malt Whisky Miyagikyo Discovery Series 0.7L 48% Nikka Distillery After living abroad in Scotland and learning the art of distilling Scottish whisky, Masataka Taketsuru returned to his homeland of Japan. Here he looked for similar conditions in Scotland, with a cold climate, perfect humidity, clean air and access to a water source. Taketsuru found all of this in the small community of Yoichi and founded the distillery of the same name there in 1934. With the desire to create more complex whiskies, Taketsuru explored the northern part of Honshu and found the ideal conditions to open a second location, the Miyagikyo distillery, in 1967. Discovery Series The 'Discovery Series' of the Japanese whisky distillery Nikka includes two new products: Yoichi Non-Peated and Miyagikyo Peated, which are released as strictly limited editions and reflect the different tastes of the two locations. The series will include some special whiskies that will be released annually from now on and will span a long period into 2024, when the distillery will celebrate its 90th anniversary. Single Malt Miyagikyo Peated Whiskies from the 'Miyagikyo' distillery have a rather elegant, fresh character. For the limited edition, this character is given additional fine peat notes. This creates a very balanced, fruity single malt with fine smoky notes.
