This intricate mix, which was introduced in 1985 by the Japanese company Nikka Whisky, has over 100 distinct batches of their grain and malt whiskies. A timeless masterpiece.
The father of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru, took chemistry classes at Glasgow University following World War I and researched whisky making at important distilleries in Scotland. He was the first Japanese person to become an expert whisky maker, coming from a family of sake brewers. Masataka worked at Kotobukiya Limited for ten years after returning to Japan with his wife Rita, creating the country’s first authentic whisky.
Nikka Whisky was created in 1934 when Taketsuru made the bold decision to establish his own independent distillery in Yoichi, Hokkaido, in northern Japan. The area’s chilly temperatures and high humidity were evocative of Scotland. Nikka Whisky production started two years after Masataka created his first pot still, which was manufactured in Japan. In 1940, the the barrel is first whisky bottle was created.
As the demand for Nikka Whisky increased in 1960, a second distillery had to be opened in a different part of Japan. At last, Masataka made his home on a broad valley surrounded by forests where the Nikkawagawa and Hirosegawa rivers converge. Similar to Yoichi, the Nikkawagawa River’s water quality and the natural humidity from the nearby hills and rivers made the area ideal for a second distillery, which he called Miyagikyo deliver full flavors and richness.
Nnikka japanese whiskey From The Barrel, a complex whisky mix made from over 100 batches of malt and grain whiskies, first released in 1985. This classic bottle, which is still in demand decades after it was first released, has a rich and complex profile of potent flavors “from barrels” that only blenders can detect. To allow all the ingredients to meld harmoniously, it is rested in old barrels for a few more months after blending. As a result, the whisky is bottled at the perfect 90 proof and has a mild flavor.
The Whiskey Advocate’s Whiskey of the Year award went to nikka from the barrel whisky in 2018.
