Founder Masataka Taketsuru traveled to Scotland in 1918 to learn first-hand the process of distilling Scotch whisky. He studied organic chemistry with Professor TS Patterson at the University of Glasgow and malt whisky production at the Hazelburn Distillery in Campbelltown, near Kintyre. He married Jessie Roberta "Rita" Cowan, the daughter of a Glasgow doctor, with whom he returned to Japan in 1920. In 1923, he joined Kotobukiya (now Suntory) and helped build a brewery, before founding Nikka in 1934. After their death, the company was run by their adopted son, Taketuru Takeshi, whose business expanded significantly.
