History [ edit ]
Monument to Masataka Taketsuru , the founder of Nikka Whisky
The founder, Masataka Taketsuru , travelled to Scotland in 1918 to learn the process of distilling Scotch whisky first hand. He studied organic chemistry under Prof. T. S. Patterson[1] University of Glasgow and malt whisky production at the Hazelburn distillery , in Campbeltown near the Mull of Kintyre . He married Jessie Roberta "Rita" Cowan , the daughter of a Glasgow doctor, and returned with her to Japan in 1920. In 1923 he joined Kotobukiya (currently Suntory ) and helped to establish a distillery before starting Nikka in 1934.[2]
After their deaths, the company was run by their adoptive son, Takeshi Taketsuru , who expanded its business substantially.
