The brand: Born in 1894 within a family of sake producers, Masataka Taketsuru is today considered the father of Japanese whiskey. After training as a chemist, he was hired by the Settsu Shuzo company which sent him to Scotland in 1918 to complete his apprenticeship. Masataka then developed a passion for whiskey and decided to dedicate his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. His growing success allowed him to establish a second one in 1969 near Sendai: Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the group Nikka today offers its splendid and renowned range of Japanese whiskeys.
