| Nikka celebrates its founders with two new apple brandy finished bottlings |
After marrying, Masataka Takesturu and Jessie Roberta (Rita)
Cowan, moved to Japan a few years later and in 1934 founded Nikka, which earned
them the nickname of mother and father of Japanese whisky.
Apples are a very strong symbol for Nikka as Masataka,
encouraged by Rita, started his business with the production of apple juice and
jam from local Hokkaido apples while they waited for the first whiskies to
mature.
Miyagikyo Apple Brandy Finish Single Malt and Yoichi Apple
Brandy Finish Single Malt, which are being distributed in the UK by Speciality
