Nikka Whisky was founded by Masataka Taketsuru, the Father of Japanese whisky. Aspiring to create “genuine” whisky in Japan, Masataka set off alone to Scotland in 1918 to gain the knowledge needed to achieve his goal. Arriving in Scotland, he enrolled at The University of Glasgow and studied chemistry, before landing an apprenticeship at three different Scotch distilleries. Filling his notebook with the wealth of information he had learned, Masataka headed back home to Japan with his wife Rita. He was immediately hired and helped build Yamazaka distillery, where he stayed for 10 years. He branched out on his own, heading north to Yoichi and building Yoichi Distillery in 1934. Yoichi’s location was chosen due to its similarities to Scotland’s climate, which was thought to be ideal for crafting whisky.
Nikka Days has been developed for whisky lovers who appreciate fine drinks on any casual day, based on the concept “whisky for every day”. Its round bottle and bright colored label visualize the taste profile of the whisky inside and enhance a vibrant mood. This whisky can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, in a simple highball or refreshing cocktail. Nikka Days will complement and elevate your day.
Tasting Notes
From the distillery: “A delicate balance is achieved by the skillful blending of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts. With impressive floral aromas, this expression offers an extremely silky mouthfeel and fruity flavors that rise and expand, leaving behind a delightful aftertaste.”
Method
Created by blending soft grain whisky with slightly peated malt whisky from both Nikka distilleries. Bottled at 40% ABV.
