About this whisky
- Region:
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 and Hazelburn – before founding Nikka in 1934. Crafted in Japan at the Yoichi distillery on the island of Hokkaido, this 17-year-old expression showcases a complex character born from meticulous malt selection and patient maturation. Expect a rich and layered palate, hinting at fruitcake, spice, and a subtle smokiness reflective of Taketsuru’s Scottish influences. Bottled at 43% ABV, it delivers a harmonious balance and a long, warming finish.
