Nikka Whisky Distilling Co. was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a pioneering figure in Japanese whisky who studied traditional Scotch whisky production in Scotland before returning to Japan to build a distinct Japanese style. Nikka operates two principal distilleries — Yoichi, known for robust, peaty character, and Miyagikyo, famed for elegant, fruity malts — and blends whiskies from both to craft complex, balanced expressions that have helped elevate Japanese whisky on the global stage.
