Special Features:

Super Nikka combines a smooth, balanced style with gentle peat and hints of vanilla and sherry. Floral and herbal notes, mirabelle plum, honey and almond milk round out the profile, while ash and light smoke contrast with the sweetness.

Masataka Taketsuru created Super Nikka in 1962. The whisky is offered at 43% in a 0.7-litre bottle with gift packaging. It does not meet all the criteria for the industry designation Japanese whisky.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, sage, lilac and lavender meet mirabelle plum, wood and a delicate note of cumin.
  • Palate: On the palate, the whisky is lively yet smooth. Honey and almond milk accompany malt, violet and a touch of ash.
  • Finish: The finish is gentle, with light smoke, herbs and a note of anise.

Distillery/Bottler:

Masataka Taketsuru founded Nikka’s predecessor company in 1934 and built his first distillery in Yoichi on Hokkaido. His training in Scotland covered malt and grain whisky production as well as blending.

After Rita’s death, Taketsuru worked with his son Takeshi on Super Nikka. Launched in October 1962 as the company’s highest-quality whisky at the time, the blend was initially presented in a hand-blown crystal bottle. Nikka blends and bottles Super Nikka itself.
