Blended Malt
Age
12 years
A Japanese blended malt aged 12 years, from the Nikka Taketsuru range, which is dedicated to Nikka's founder, Masataka Taketsuru. It is made from malts of Nikka's two distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Miyagikyo malts are regarded as fruity and light, Yoichi's as strongly smoky, and this blend brings both together. The nose is sweet, with caramel, plum, vanilla, apple and peach, and a little smoke. The palate is creamy and nutty, with chocolate, honey, fig and nutmeg. The finish is medium in length, sweet, smoky and woody.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
