The Nikka company was founded in 1934 by the father of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru, after he let his ten year contract with Shinjiro Torii lapse following a disagreement over the location of the latter's Yamazaki distillery. Taketsuru used his experience of building and running Yamazaki to construct a new distillery, named Yoichi, in the mountains of Hokkaido, whose location and climate he believed more closely resembled the Scottish landscape in which he had learned his craft.

Asahi Holdings acquired Nikka in 1954, but Taketsuru remained at the helm of the company and built the Sendai distillery (now known as Miyagikyo) in 1969. After Masataka Taketsuru’s death in 1979 his nephew and adopted son Takeshi took over at Nikka, returning to Scotland to buy the moribund Ben Nevis distillery in 1989. Takeshi Taketsuru greatly expanded Nikka’s overseas operations and exports, and played a major part in Japanese whisky’s present success.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.
Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.
No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.
All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly. Placing a bid confirms you have checked the Lot and are satisfied.
