Awards
Meilleur Blended Malt du Monde, World Whisky Awards 2012Tasting note
- Appearance : Vieil or à reflets cuivrés
- Nose : épicé et délicat, il se révèle également fruité (mirabelle jaune, peau de pêche) et chocolaté. Il se prolonge sur le vieux cuir, la feuille de tabac séchée et les fruits secs (abricot, figue).
- Palate : gourmande et généreuse, elle procure une sensation de fruits confits (écorce d'orange), de fruits à l'eau de vie (griotte) avec une belle onctuosité. Crémeuse, elle se développe sur le toffee, le moka et les fruits secs grillés (noisettes).
- Overall : longue et digne des vieux whiskies du speyside, elle est marquée par la praline, le bois brûlé et la fumée de cigare. La fleur d'anis et les agrumes apportent la fraîcheur à ce whisky. De fines notes herbacées sont également présentes (herbes sèches).

The brand
Born into a family of sake producers in 1894, Masataka Taketsuru is considered to be the father of Japanese whisky. After training as a chemist, he began working for the Settsu Shuzo company, who sent him to Scotland in 1919 to carry out an apprenticeship. There he developed a passion for whisky and decided to dedicate his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. His growing success enabled him to open a second distillery near Sendai in 1969: Miyagikyo. The Nikka Whisky group creates its entire line of Japanese whiskies using single malts from these two distilleries. Official website
