Nikka Whisky 的兩個獨特釀酒廠:餘市和宮城峽

Yoichi Distillery於 1934 年由 Masataka Taketsuru 創立,他是第一個在蘇格蘭掌握威士忌釀造的日本人,非常看重北方的氣候和自然特徵。餘市,是正孝選擇的地方,靠近大海,三面環山,在很多方面都類似於蘇格蘭的高地。 Masataka 在建造餘市酒廠時仍然使用直接煤火燒鍋。這種傳統的燃煤蒸餾在今天已經很少見了,因為它很難控制溫度並且需要高技能的工匠。 Yoichi Single Malt 的特點是這種大膽和烘烤的焦味是這種蒸餾的獨特之處。

宮城峽酒廠成立於 1969 年,正隆偶然發現了一個被北方群山環繞、兩條清澈河流交匯處的美麗霧靄峽谷。有一次他嘗試了其中一條河流的水,也就是現在的水源,他印象深刻,並立即決定在那裡建造一座釀酒廠。伴隨著風土的不同,宮城峽不同的蒸餾方式造就了與眾不同的麥芽威士忌。他使用了與餘市不同的技術,這種不同的蒸餾方法使宮城峽單一麥芽威士忌具有柔軟和花香的特性。
