Arguably the “grandfather” of Japanese whisky, Taketsuru learned his trade studying Organic Chemistry at The University of Glasgow in 1918, before apprenticing at Longmorn, and laterally Hazelburn distilleries. With humble beginnings, producing apple juice and cider to keep the cash flowing whilst the whisky came of age, Nikka has grown to become one of the best known names in Japanese whisky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose : Rich toffee, honey, spiced fruit notes and dark mocha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate : Chewy, dates, pecans, grapes and mango.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish : Sweet, syrupy pipe tobacco and mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Nikka \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNikka Whisky is a Japanese company, founded in 1934 by\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=Masataka+Taketsuru\u0026amp;sca_esv=99ccd84969507416\u0026amp;sxsrf=AE3TifPdNXv5doevqVbfrRiU_4RgOOaNnA%3A1757150946775\u0026amp;ei=4v67aJeLL8CzhbIPyPDh0QY\u0026amp;ved=2ahUKEwjuobL-6cOPAxUKWkEAHU-PALIQgK4QegQIARAB\u0026amp;uact=5\u0026amp;oq=about+nikka+whisky+summary\u0026amp;gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiGmFib3V0IG5pa2thIHdoaXNreSBzdW1tYXJ5MgUQIRigAUjLIFDvB1jjHXABeACQAQCYAbIBoAH_B6oBAzMuNrgBA8gBAPgBAZgCCaAC8gfCAgoQABiwAxjWBBhHwgIGEAAYFhgewgILEAAYgAQYhgMYigXCAggQABiABBiiBMICBRAAGO8FwgIEECEYFcICBRAhGJ8FmAMAiAYBkAYIkgcDMi43oAeOJ7IHAzEuN7gH6wfCBwUyLTcuMsgHLg\u0026amp;sclient=gws-wiz-serp\u0026amp;mstk=AUtExfDAHdX6qOsjxZBvu-Ofojg6m1KCbbHk3XIYSd1sL3kHFQoGr7YhUfQKG-BToSLCXGn77RwIlMvgDVtiUi1qZIBAQuEFMf7rAkTyU-32m_AzhJgZ7sBRVv5CtamHcmdedwCnVQdGPY7pJXHhgiZQs2eGz4r-d3X64-aSDEK67mwPLFAy6TfMH9vwv8aLuhkFNSACr1ST_y_0_IeiT4nkL4lxlniWgd1_FF1c-roHZtXq4cRi_-UAVe5Jmz_YxA4wdAPeLmb_VK3x6dh0R-lq5uqE\u0026amp;csui=3\" data-processed=\"true\" data-hveid=\"CAEQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwjuobL-6cOPAxUKWkEAHU-PALIQgK4QegQIARAB\" class=\"GI370e\" data-wiz-rootname=\"sQeGi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMasataka Taketsuru\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – the \"Father of Japanese Whisky\" – after he studied distilling in Scotland.
