Founded by Masataka Taketsuru in 1934, Nikka is the second largest distiller in Japan. Starting with the Yoichi distillery and then adding Miyagikyo in 1969, Nikka also own Ben Nevis distillery in Scotland. Owned by Asahi Breweries since 2001, the name Nikka is a contraction of Nippon Kaju which was adopted in 1952.
Chosen as the perfect site for his second distillery it is rumoured that Masataka Taketsuru took three years to find the site nestled in the mountains of Miyagi Prefecture. Miyagikyo is the softer side of the award winning Taketsuru blended malt range but wins plenty of awards on its own merits. All age statement releases were discontinued in 2015.
