Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt

Japanese Blended Whisky

70CL / 43%
Country: Japan

A non-age-statement expression of Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt whisky, named after the company’s founder, Masataka Taketsuru. It features plenty of whisky from the Miyagikyo distillery, as well as percentage of malt matured in sherry casks to give it a rich, spiced nose.

TASTING NOTE
NOSE
Sherry-soaked plums, raisins and green apple slices. Honey’d cereal, black pepper and hint of barrel char.

PALATE
Espresso beans, milk chocolate, tobacco leaf and lingering Sherried fruit. There’s a slight touch of smoke as it develops…

FINISH
Elegant smoke continues, with golden barley and a final hint of coffee.

OVERALL
Superb Japanese blended malt from Nikka.
