Founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, considered the father of Japanese whisky, Nikka Whisky produces a wide and diverse range of whiskies at its two distilleries located in northern Japan: Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Renowned for both its two single malts and its blends of great precision and unparalleled complexity, Nikka was born from a true passion for whisky, which Taketsuru discovered in Scotland. It was also there that he met his wife Rita, who inspired and supported him in realizing his dream of producing authentic Japanese whisky. With its subtle balance between fruit and fine peaty notes, Nikka Pure Malt Black offers rare complexity. The depth of its aromatic palette results from a selection of very different whiskies, combining the fruity elegance of Miyagikyo malts with the typical smoky notes of Yoichi.
