Distillery Background
Nikka Whisky was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, who established the Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido to capture the character of Scotland’s coastal malts. Later, Miyagikyo was built in Sendai to craft softer, fruitier whiskies. The Black Select bundle reflects this dual heritage, offering a spectrum of Japanese whisky character in one collection.
