This is an acknowledgement of the Scottish education of Masataka Taketsuru, the industry pioneer regarded as the “Father Of Japanese Whisky.” By learning the process of Scotland’s premiere distilleries, Taketsuru was able to bring those concepts back to Japan and launch the first Japanese whisky distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/col]\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\" animate=\"bounceInRight\"]\n\n[ux_image id=\"100069\" height=\"100%\"]\n\n[\/col]\n\n[\/row]\n[ux_image id=\"100216\" animate=\"flipInX\"]\n\n[gap]\n\n[row v_align=\"middle\"]\n\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\" animate=\"fadeInLeft\"]\n\n[ux_image id=\"100198\"]\n\n[\/col]\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\" force_first=\"small\" animate=\"fadeInRight\"]\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family: ElenaWeb,Playfair,Lato;font-weight: normal;color: #000000;font-size: 1.7em\"\u003eThe Future Meets The Past\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;font-family: ElenaWeb,Playfair,Lato;font-weight: normal;color: #000000\"\u003eEigashima Distillery is one of the rising stars of the Japanese Whisky industry.

The design draws upon the Ukiyo-e style of Japanese art which flourished in modern Tokyo, then known as Edo, in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The chrysanthemum, like Eigashima distillery, thrives in the saline rich soil of the Akashi City park, breathing the ocean-rich air of the Kobe Bay and offering complex beauty in return. These magnificent, kaleidoscope blooms can be found throughout the park around this special distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/col]\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\" animate=\"fadeInRight\"]\n\n[ux_image id=\"100076\" height=\"100%\"]\n\n[\/col]\n\n[\/row]\n[ux_image id=\"100433\" animate=\"flipInX\"]\n\n[gap]\n\n[row v_align=\"middle\"]\n\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\" animate=\"fadeInLeft\"]\n\n[ux_image id=\"100263\"]\n\n[\/col]\n[col span=\"6\" span__sm=\"12\" force_first=\"small\" animate=\"fadeInRight\"]\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family: ElenaWeb,Playfair,Lato;font-weight: normal;color: #000000;font-size: 1.7em\"\u003eLimited Quantities Available\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;font-family: ElenaWeb,Playfair,Lato;font-weight: normal;color: #000000\"\u003eWith only 300 bottles available, the Kikou is a highly limited release.
