Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml (With Original Box)
$110.00
- Comes with Original Box
- 43% ABV
- Colour: Gold with pinkish hue
- Nose: Engaging. Fresh and fruity. Freshly pressed fruit juice comes to mind, a cornucopia of white fruit, peach notes and juicy grapes. It progressively opens up on fine amadine pastry notes, frangipane and biscuits. Italian all the way, like a panetone with raisins. The malted barley grows more present and plays off the citrus aromas (clementine). A touch of oak and rustic notes (verbena, camomille) bring it all together.
- Palate: Coffee, licorice, toasted oak, coffee grounds, a cigar slowly burning out! Its surprising range is expressive to say the least. Vigorous, assertive and uncompromising. The peat is elusive and finds ways to assert itself without so much as a whisper.
- Finish: Licorice candy all the way. A refined bitterness quickly gives way to more integrated, medicinal aromas: camphor, eucalyptus. The finish eventually fades out on malted barley notes.

Description
A tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky and the founder of Nikka, this pure malt whisky is a blend of casks hailing from Nikka’s two distilleries in the North of Japan: Yoichi and Miyagikyo. To achieve this level of balance and complexity, Nikka’s master blenders rely on a large variety of whisky styles, combining the fresh and fruity notes of youthful whiskies with the rich, evolved character of older ones, aged for a large part in ex-sherry casks.
