Nikka was the life’s work of Masataka Taketsuru, the “Father of Japanese Whisky”. Its products are rightly celebrated worldwide for their quality, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can feel the ingenuity of Masataka in Nikka whisky. This particular Nikka Whisky is for the Hanshin Tigers Central League Champions 2003 Limited Edition. It was bottled in 2003 for the Hanshin Tigers to celebrate them becoming Champions in the All-Nippon Professional Baseball Central League. Presented in a ceramic bottle that takes the shape of a trophy, this is really a bottle for winners!
