Nikka Days Blended Whisky 0.7L 40% Japan The Nikka distillery is a Japanese whisky distillery based in Yoichi/Hokkaido. The path to this point was not easy - Teketsuru was already forty when he founded his distillery. Taketsuru came to Glasgow as a student in 1918, originally to learn more about brewing beer. Somehow, however, he was more fascinated by the art of whisky and so he continued his studies in this direction. When he returned to Japan, Taketsuru was hired by the second pioneer of Japanese whisky, Shinjiro, as production manager, where he contributed his experience for several years. In 1929, the two of them brought the first Japanese whisky onto the market. It wasn't long before they went their separate ways and Masataka Taketsuru founded his own distillery in 1934 and used it to ensure that whisky became increasingly well-known and popular in Japan. A good thirty years later, a second distillery, the Miyagikyo distillery, was founded. Nikka Days Blended Whisky Nikka Days Whisky is a fine blend of Coffey grain whisky and Miyagikyo single malt whiskies. It matures in bourbon barrels and thus gets its golden yellow color.

Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Whisky 0.7L 45% 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.
