Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt (70cl)

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt is a Japanese blended malt in a 70cl bottle, named after Masataka Taketsuru, who learned whisky-making in Scotland and went on to produce whisky in Japan. It draws on the two distilleries he built, Yoichi and Miyagikyo, chosen because he believed the natural surroundings of a distillery were essential to quality. It is described as having a gentle malt flavour, fruitiness and a well-balanced taste.
