NIKKA Taketsuru Pure Malt 43%

Blended Malt Whisky, Japan, 70cl, Ref: 18114E

A tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky and founder of Nikka, this pure malt whisky is a blend of casks hailing from Nikkas two distilleries in the north of Japan: Yoichi and Miyagikyo. To achieve this level of balance and complexity, Nikkas 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.TASTING NOTEAppearance: gold with pink tinges.Nose: fresh, fruity and inviting. An abundance of white fruits with peach and freshly pressed grapes. Fine patisserie notes of amandine, marzipan and biscuit.Palate: coffee, zan liquorice, toasted oak, coffee grounds and cigars. Confident and uncompromising. Overall: a delicate bitterness that shifts into the slightly more medicinal; camphor, eucalyptus. Fades with liquorice and malted barley.

The brand

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 1918 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
