Nikka is one of Japanโ€™s most respected whisky houses, blending tradition, precision, and a deep appreciation for both Scotch roots and local character. Founded by Masataka Taketsuru โ€” the man who studied whisky-making in Scotland and brought the craft home โ€” Nikka combines Scottish technique with Japanese finesse, offering expressions that are smooth, balanced, and layered with subtle complexity.

From the peaty depth of Yoichi to the fruit-forward elegance of Miyagikyo and the accessible smoothness of its blended whiskies, Nikka delivers character without flash. Itโ€™s a brand that quietly impresses โ€” thoughtful, well-crafted, and always a rewarding pour.
