Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 17 Year Old

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 17 Year Old honors the legacy of Masataka Taketsuru, a pioneer who studied whisky-making in Scotland – even at the University of Glasgow and distilleries like Longmorn – before founding Nikka in 1934. Crafted at the Yoichi distillery on the island of Hokkaido, this 17-year-old expression showcases the influence of both Japanese and Scottish traditions. Expect a complex and balanced palate, revealing notes of fruitcake, spice, and a subtle smokiness, reflective of Nikka’s dedication to quality malt whisky. At 43% ABV, it offers a rich and rewarding experience, embodying the spirit of a true whisky innovator.
