Nikka Taketsuru 17 Year Old is a Japanese blended whisky from Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., matured for 17 years. It has a dark brown colour. The nose opens with sweet citrus and orange, followed by sherry sweetness, raisins and a touch of leather. On the palate it is sweet and weighty, with honey, caramel and chocolate, candied orange peel, a little sharpness and spice. With time it turns woody, with a note of tobacco. The finish is of medium length, leaving dark chocolate and a leathery, earthy aftertaste.

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.
