The distillery, founded by Masataka Taketsuru in 1934, is renowned for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. From the arid plantations on the edge of the Mexican desert, through the rugged glens of the Scottish Highlands, to the undulating vineyards of Cognac in Southwest France, successive generations have been distilling the fermented liquor of agave, barley, grape, cane sugar and other fruits, plants and grains. I love Japanese Whisky so I bought this as it won some awards and came first but to be honest i prefer the cheaper ones as this is too much like Scottish Whisky and too be honest too strong its a bit harsh. It offers a delicate balance of bright fruitiness and rich mouthfeel, along with its distinctive smokiness generated by coal-fired distillation.
