Product Description

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Japanese Whisky is a refined and harmonious blend, released in 2020, that brings together the best of both Nikka distilleries. With no age statement, the whisky is composed of malts aged on average for 10 years in a variety of oak casks, showcasing the distillery’s mastery in creating complex, balanced whiskies.

The high proportion of malt from the Miyagikyo distillery gives this expression its fresh, fruity character, with vibrant notes of green apple, pear, and delicate citrus. These bright flavours are beautifully complemented by the rich, mature aromas imparted by the significant sherry cask influence. The result is a whisky that balances freshness with depth, offering an intriguing interplay of sweet fruitiness, creamy malt, and a hint of spice and dried fruit.

The smooth, well-rounded nature of the Taketsuru Pure Malt makes it an ideal choice for those looking to explore the elegance of Japanese whisky. Whether sipped neat, on the rocks, or in an elegant cocktail, this whisky delivers a distinctive drinking experience that reflects the meticulous craft and tradition of Nikka.
