The Legacy of Masataka Taketsuru – The Father of Japanese Whisky

Named after Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Japanese Whiskey, the Taketsuru Pure Malt pays homage to his vision and legacy. Masataka studied the art of Scotch whisky-making in Scotland before returning to Japan in the early 20th century with dreams of crafting world-class whiskey on Japanese soil.

This dedication and passion gave birth to one of the most revered Japanese whiskey brands — Nikka Whisky — known today for its balance, complexity, and distinctly Japanese character.

What Is Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Whisky?

Nikka taketsuru nas Pure Malt is a blended malt whiskey, composed exclusively of 100% malt whiskies from Nikka’s two distilleries — Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Unlike single malts, which come from a single distillery, pure malt (also known as blended malt) offers a complex flavor profile by combining select casks from different locations.

This creates a perfectly harmonious whiskey that embodies the best characteristics of both distilleries:

• Yoichi offers bold, peaty notes and a rich, smoky backbone.
• Miyagikyo adds elegance, fruity sweetness, and subtle floral aromas.

The result? A smooth, well-rounded, and versatile Japanese whiskey that appeals to both newcomers and connoisseurs alike.
