Description
This Japanese Whisky brings the art of Japanese whisky straight to your glass. Crafted by the Nikka Whisky Distilling Company, it honors Masataka Taketsuru, who studied whisky making in Scotland. This blend of single malts from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries offers a balanced, sophisticated experience that both newcomers and seasoned whisky lovers will enjoy.
On the palate, you’ll taste a smooth mix of dried fruits, honey, and subtle spice. Vanilla and caramel notes emerge gently, while hints of oak and malt add depth. Its mild smokiness rounds out the flavor, creating a rich yet approachable profile. The aroma is inviting, with pear, apple, toffee, and malted barley unfolding layer by layer, giving you a preview of what’s to come.
The finish is long and velvety, leaving lingering notes of malt, oak, and gentle smoke. Pair it with grilled meats, teriyaki chicken, aged cheeses, or even dark chocolate to bring out its nuanced sweetness. Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt is perfect if you want a smooth, elegant whisky to savor slowly.
