Round & delicate on the palateit shows cereal, cardamom & candied fruit flavours. Slight but discreet bitterness comes along with some peatiness reminiscent of a full-bodied dark chocolate. A homage to Nikkas founder, Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky. Taketsuru Pure Malt is a blended malt named after Nikkas founder, a disciplined craftsman whow as constant in his pursuit of perfection
- a characteristic Nikka is pursuing to this day. The new releasere places the previous Pure Malt expression which was discontinued in early 2020 & reflects much more the historic style of the Taketsuru blend. The whisky is a blend of aged single malt casks from Yoichi & Miyagikyo distilleries & showcases an exquisite balance of softness & complexity. Miyagikyo remains prominent but a higher proportion of Yoichi is used in this new edition. The liquid is aged in ex-sherry & Miyagikyo remade casks. The Taketsuru logo, founders signature & brand emblem are all present on the bottle, displaying the authenticity & tradition of this superb whisky.
