Tasting Note
Very soft and calm whisky, but at the same time can not be called smoothed, there is in it both the depth and character. A worthy representative of the country of the rising sun, with its softness and delicacy reminiscent of Isle of Jura. The first nose - a little smoke, bourbon, wet stone, then light lacquer-acetone notes, dried fruits and all this against the background of a freshly broken green apple. Soft taste of wood, citrus freshness, sweetness, spices, everything is very delicate and soft, light smoke and peat. Continuation of taste, fading spices and spices on the background of wood, at the end - light echoes of fruit compote, puree from vegetables, peat.

Nikka
Born in 1894 into a family of sake producers, Masataka Taketsuru is 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 do his apprenticeship. He developed a passion for whiskey and decided to devote his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. Its growing success allowed it to establish a second in 1969 near Sendai: Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the Nikka Whiskey group declines its entire range of Japanese whiskeys.
