Masataka Taketsuru.

Founder of Japanese whisky.

Japanese whisky has been becoming increasingly prominent in the whisky industry and we have Mr Taketsuru to thank for it. In the early 1900s he did apprenticeships at Hazelburn and Longmorn after studying Organic Chemistry at the university of Glasgow. In 1920 he moved back to Japan with his Scottish wife Rita where he helped to establish Suntory as a whisky brand before he left and opened Yoichi Distillery in the mountains of Hokkaido and thus, the Nikka brand.
