Nikka – 17 Year Old (Pure Malt) Taketsuru

Crafted at Nikka’s Miyagikyo distillery, the 17 Year Old Taketsuru is a pure malt whisky honoring the founder Masataka Taketsuru’s pioneering spirit. This Japanese whisky blends both heavily peated and lightly peated malt, resulting in a complex character reflective of Scotland’s own blended traditions. Expect a rich aroma of fruitcake and spice, unfolding on the palate with notes of dried fruits, honey, and a subtle smokiness. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering sweetness with a hint of oak – a testament to years of careful maturation.
