Interesting Fact:

Masataka Taketsuru, Nikka’s founder, studied the art of whisky-making in Scotland in the early 1900s before bringing his knowledge back to Japan. His dual passion for Scottish tradition and Japanese precision continues to define Nikka’s style today, balance, purity, and depth.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve neat in the included glasses to enjoy its floral and malt notes. For a refreshing serve, mix with chilled soda water and garnish with a thin slice of lemon, a classic Japanese Highball that highlights Nikka Days’ elegant brightness.

Distillery Background:

Founded in 1934, Nikka Whisky operates two iconic distilleries: Yoichi in Hokkaido, known for its smoky, peated malts, and Miyagikyo in Sendai, famous for its fruity and gentle whiskies. Nikka Days unites the best of both, the freshness of Miyagikyo and the subtle depth of Yoichi, resulting in a whisky that embodies Japanese harmony and craftsmanship.
