Key Information
Brand Story
Masataka Taketsuru is the father of Japanese whisky. His family owned a sake brewery that dated to 1733. However, it was Scotch whisky that captured the young man's imagination and he decided to dedicate his life to it. In 1918, Taketsuru travelled to Scotland, where he learnt the secrets of whisky-making and met his wife Rita who would be the source of his inspiration when creating whisky in Japan.
