This is an expression launched in 2020, with a refined formula and a new label design to represent the brand.
While remaining a smooth and well-balanced blended malt, the formula further showcases an exquisite balance between elegant softness and deep complexity along with rich mouthfeel and smokiness.

This is a signature label in honor of Nikka’s founder Masataka Taketsuru, the first Japanese who mastered whisky-making in Scotland and brought this expertise back to Japan.
While being a disciplined craftsman, he was also a person of curiosity and open-mindedness.
This is a tribute to Masataka from his successors, highlighting a perfect balance with complexity achieved by precise blending inherited from the founder.
A “pure malt” is a blend of malt whiskies from various distilleries, whereas a “single malt” is a whisky made exclusively from one distillery. A “pure malt” is also known as a “blended malt”.
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.
