Nikka - Pure Malt, Black 50cl

Masataka Taketsuru built his first distillery, the Yoichi, in 1934, following Scottish example in northern Japan. In 1969 the Miyagikyou joined in there, near Tokyo. Yoichi makes a peated Whisky, Miyagikyou makes a much softer, non peatedWhisky. In the middle of Japan stands the Tochigi distillery where they only make Grain whisky. The Pure Malt is a blend of the 3 distilleries, with the emphasis on Yoichi. Firmly with a light trace of smoke.
