Yoichi & Miyagikyo Rum Wood Finish 2017 2 x 70cl

Nikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a former Suntory employee who had studied at the University of Glasgow, and later trained as a blender at the now lost Hazelburn distillery in Campbeltown. Taketsuru opened the Yoichi distillery in the same year as establishing the company, followed by the Nishinomaya and Miyagikyo distilleries in 1959 and 1969, respectively. Since 1989 the company has also has also had a stake in the Scotch whisky industry after they purchased the struggling Ben Nevis distillery. Today they are one of the second largest whisky producer in Japan.

This is a duo of 2017 limited edition bottlings from Yoichi and Miyagikyo, finished in Rum wood. All of the Nikka distilleries' output became non-age statement in 2015 following stock shortages in their warehouse due to the unprecedented demand for Japanese whisky in the 21st century.

Please note a two bottle shipping fee will be applied to this lot.
