Description
Named after the legendary Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka and the pioneer of Japanese distillation, Nikka Pure Taketsuru is an exceptional blended malt that unites the contrasting spirits of the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. This non-age statement release, which was revamped in 2020 with a greater share of Yoichi malt, contains malt whisky only, with no grain whisky. It artfully marries the bold, coastal peatiness of Yoichi with the elegant, sherry-cask influence and floral fruitiness of Miyagikyo. It has earned a loyal following among enthusiasts of premium whisky in South Africa. This 750ml bottling is an essential addition for those looking to buy whisky in South Africa that represents the pinnacle of blending artistry.
- Nose: Vibrant aromas of fresh apricot and white peach layered with toasted vanilla, citrus zest, and a subtle, earthy maltiness.
- Palate: A silky texture revealing notes of buttery toffee, roasted coffee beans, and dried fruits, balanced by a gentle, integrated smokiness.
- Finish: Long and refined with a clean drying quality, leaving lingering hints of dark chocolate and a touch of saline mineral character.
For the best experience, enjoy this pure malt neat or with a splash of spring water to unlock its deeper floral layers.
