Nikka — history, distillery, main expressions and guides with instructions

Insignito dai britannici del premio di migliore del world, il Nikka whiskey presents delle characteistiche produttive che neppure i migliori whiskey scozzesi hanno.

Nikka is one of the most popular names in the world of Japanese whiskey. Founded by Masataka Taketsuru in 1934, it contributed decisively to building the international reputation of Giappone whiskey.

With its main distillery — Yoichi (Hokkaidō) and Miyagikyo (Miyagi) — Nikka produces single malt, blended and grain whisky, enjoying quality, diversity of style and product consistency.
