He learned his trade in Scotland and brought it to Japan. Worlds apart?\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The company has \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;two working distilleries — Yoichi and Miyagikyo. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;The latter was founded in 1969, thirty years after Yoichi. Taketsuru supposedly stumbled upon the picturesque location by chance, instantly realizing its potential as \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;a prime spot\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; 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.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The high\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; humidity and purity of air \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;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, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;one of the most up-to-date facilities\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; in Japan — is using two old coffey stills which date back to the 19th century. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Modern, yet traditional. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;And it’s exactly these coffey stills in Miyagikyo that make \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Nikka Whisky Coffey Malt \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;special. While most distilleries use their coffey stills only to make grain Whisky, in this case, Nikka uses them to create \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;100% Malt Whisky,\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; which is usually produced in copper pot stills. And that’s what makes this Whisky \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;wonderfully unique. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;Delicate, yet spicy.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;You see, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;they do things a bit differently \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;at Nikka. In keeping with tradition and breaking with it at the same time. Nikka is\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; all about contrasts and contradictions. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;The best of both worlds. Taketsuru may be gone, but his Spirit remains.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;We saved the best for the end… Hear this, Nikka Coffey was named \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“Japanese Whisky of the Year” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;by Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible 2018!\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Kanpai!\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135642296502,"sku":"59893","price":17.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/nikkacoffeymaltwhisky-700ml_59893_01_8e153607_c37d4608-7977-4617-9442-463f70ace359.jpg?v=1779275190","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/nikkacoffeymaltwhisky-700ml-59893","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
