This Japanese whisky is renowned for its rich aroma and complexity. A blend of single malts and grain whiskies, it is bottled at a high proof of 51.4%. On the nose, it reveals notes of ripe fruit, spices and caramel. On the palate, its power is balanced by vanilla sweetness, with hints of oak and a light floral touch. The finish is long and marked by persistent spices. It can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in cocktails such as smoky apple fizz, Japanese highball or old fashioned.

Growing up in a brewing family, Masatake Taketsuru mastered fermentation techniques from an early age. In 1918, he went to Scotland to learn whisky-making techniques using a copper still: first single malt, then grain signel. Back in Japan, he met Shinjiro Tori through his Scottish wife, who was teaching English. Enthused by Masatake's mastery of sake and whisky-making techniques, they decided to found Japan's first whisky distillery together in 1924: Yamazaki, which later became Suntory. After an argument between the two men, Masatake decided to open his own distillery in Yamazaki in 1934: "Dai Nippon Kajû", which began by producing apple brandy to keep its stills working and profitable. He then dropped the letters of his company, keeping only the Ni and Ka, thus forming "Nikka". His whisky was only distributed in Japan, making it very rare in the West. In 2001, a Frenchman brought a Yoichi back to France, launching the Japanese whisky craze in Europe.
