Nikka is the result of 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 Masatake in Nikka whisky. Here we have another wonderful bottle from the masters at Nikka. It was released in 2000 to welcome the new century. The label design is based on “Kocho” (Butterfly) Vol. 24 from “Genji Monogatari” (The Tale of Genji – 11th century Japanese Literature), which accentuates the amber colour of the whisky. Presented with a decent box and its original decanter. This is a true collector’s item.
