“Because you can't buy happiness... but you can buy whisky and that's pretty much the same thing”

Nikka Whisky Distillery

The founder, Masataka Taketsuru, traveled to Scotland in 1918 to learn the process of distilling Scotch whisky first-hand. In 1920 he joined a Japanese whisky company before starting Nikka in 1934.[1]

Nikka produces a wide variety of Japanese whiskies, ranging from ¥900 (per 700ml bottle) Black Nikka sold in Japanese convenience stores, to the ¥15,750 (per 750ml bottle) Nikka Single Cask.[2] In 2008, Yoichi 20 Year Old was voted best single malt at the World Whisky Awards. [3]
