Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Japanese Whisky
A Tribute to the Founder of Japanese Whisky
Named in honor of Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka and the pioneer of Japanese whisky-making, this pure malt expression is a testament to the art of Japanese whisky blending. Crafted from a selection of single malts from both the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, it offers a perfect balance of depth, complexity, and smoothness.

Tasting Notes:
Aroma: A refined mix of smoky peat, ripe fruit, and roasted nuts, complemented by floral undertones.
Taste: Well-rounded and smooth, with flavors of honey, dark chocolate, and a touch of oak spice, leading to a subtle smokiness.
Finish: Long and elegant, with lingering notes of dried fruit, malt, and gentle peat smoke.
Production & Quality:
A pure malt whisky, meaning it is made exclusively from malted barley and aged in a combination of sherry, bourbon, and Mizunara oak casks.
Crafted to honor the Scottish-inspired whisky techniques brought to Japan by Taketsuru.
Offers a balanced complexity, making it a great introduction to Japanese malt whiskies.
Best Enjoyed:
This whisky is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to reveal its intricate layers. It also pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, rich cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts.
