NIKKA - The Grain - Discovery Collection - 48%

Nikka Whiskey Distilling Company is located in Japan and was created by Masataka Taketsuru , considered the father of Japanese whiskey. He was the son of a sake brewer, and after studying chemistry at university, he trained at several Scottish distilleries before returning to Japan in 1920 with his Scottish wife, Rita. After working for the company that would become Suntory (Kotobukiya Limited) and making Japan's first whiskey, he struck out on his own, establishing the Yoichi Distillery and parent company Nikka. The company also has separate distilleries for making Shochu (alcohol made by distilling a wide variety of base ingredients, the main ones being rice, barley and sweet potato) and facilities for making cider brandy and apple wine. In 2001, Nikka was purchased by Asahi Breweries .

Nikka The Grain is part of the Nikka Discovery series. It comes from the blend of seven different styles of grain whiskey, from four distilleries, the oldest of which date back to 1988. It is composed of old Coffrey Grain (corn and malted barley) and Coffey Malt (100% malted barley) from the now closed Nishinomiya distillery as well as Coffey Grain and Coffey Malt, from Miyagikyo . They are supplemented by Barley Grain (malted and unmalted barley) and Barley Grain and Corn & Rye (malted barley, corn, rye) all distilled in iron stills, respectively from the Moji and Satsumatsukasa distilleries, initially specialized in the manufacture by Shochu. Each distillate has been carefully selected from these four distilleries. Nikka The Grain is aged in new American oak barrels .
