Description

Distillery Introduction:
Nikka Whisky was founded by Masataka Taketsuru, the "Father of Japanese Whisky," who established the Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido in 1934 after studying traditional Scotch whisky-making techniques in Scotland . The "Tsuru" (Crane) series is a premium blended whisky that represents the pinnacle of Nikka's blending craftsmanship. It is composed of aged malt whiskies from Nikka's two renowned distilleries—Yoichi (known for its robust, peaty character) and Miyagikyo (known for its elegant, fruity style). The ceramic bottle design is particularly distinctive, featuring a crane motif inspired by Japanese artist Ogata Kōrin's "Cranes Playing in Bamboo Grove," reflecting a refined and classic aesthetic . This is a discontinued and highly collectible bottling, prized among Japanese whisky enthusiasts .
