Nikka Coffey Grain 2000 Single Cask #23993

Nishinomaya is part of the Nikka Whisky portfolio. It was opened in 1959 and was originally tasked with grain whisky production for the company’s blends. Nikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a former Suntory employee who had studied at the University of Glasgow, and later trained as a blender at the now lost Hazelburn distillery in Campbeltown. The distillery also produced some malt whisky however, but both ceased in 1999 when its coffey stills were moved to Miyagikyo. It is now operated as a distribution centre.

This was bottled in July 2010.
