<p>The best of both worlds. </p><p>Nikka is the synonym of Japanese Whisky<em> craftsmanship and culture.</em> It was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, <em>the father of Japanese Whisky.</em> A true visionary and <em>the pioneer</em> of Whisky industry in Japan. He learned his trade in Scotland and brought it to Japan. Worlds apart?</p><p>The company has <em>two working distilleries — Yoichi and Miyagikyo. </em>The latter was founded in 1969, thirty years after Yoichi. Taketsuru supposedly stumbled upon the picturesque location by chance, instantly realizing its potential as <em>a prime spot</em> for Whisky production. Good thing he did too, since the softer nature of the Miyagikyo’s Whiskies complements the big, smoky Spirits of Yoichi beautifully. Elegant, yet robust.</p><p>The high<em> humidity and purity of air </em>at Miyagiko is almost the same as in Cairngorms region in the heart of Scotland. Only the cherry trees are a reminder that the location is in the heart of Japan and not the Highlands. The distillery, <em>one of the most up-to-date facilities</em> in Japan — is using two old coffey stills which date back to the 19th century. <em>Modern, yet traditional. </em></p><p>And it’s exactly these coffey stills in Miyagikyo that make <em>Nikka Whisky Coffey Malt </em>special. While most distilleries use their coffey stills only to make grain Whisky, in this case, Nikka uses them to create <em>100% Malt Whisky,</em> which is usually produced in copper pot stills. And that’s what makes this Whisky <em>wonderfully unique. </em>Delicate, yet spicy.</p><p>You see, <em>they do things a bit differently </em>at Nikka. In keeping with tradition and breaking with it at the same time. Nikka is<em> all about contrasts and contradictions. </em>The best of both worlds. Taketsuru may be gone, but his Spirit remains.</p><p>We saved the best for the end… Hear this, Nikka Coffey was named <em>“Japanese Whisky of the Year” </em>by Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2018!</p><p><em>Kanpai!</em></p>
