Nikka Whisky Distilling Co.Ltd.
Asahi Beer Co.Ltd has been a shareholder of the Nikka Whisky Distilling Co. since 1954, and in 2001 Asahi decided to merge Nikka. As its first step the sales organization of both companies were integrated. (Actually, Nikka became the subsidiary of Asahi.) And after 2007, the name of Asahi Beer Co.Ltd is printed as the distributor on the back labels (the name of Nikka is also shown as the manufacturer).
Here you see how the label shows on each of the miniature bottles we have.
