Taketsuru Pure Malt, released in the summer of 2015 without an age statement, is set to replace the now extinct aged Taketsuru expressions. It is a blend of malts averaging 10 years of age, with a high percentage of Miyagikyo malt, with some Yoichi added in. The whiskies were aged in different cask types, including ex-sherry barrels.

Product Code:
Made from the blending of malts from the two distilleries of Yoichi and Miyagikyo, this product was launched in 2000 named after Masataka Taketsuru, founder of Nikka and the father of Japanese Whisky. To achieve this level of balance and complexity, Nikka’s team of blenders rely on a large variety of Whisky styles, combining the fresh and fruity notes of youthful Whiskies with the rich, evolved character of older ones. A complex blend of 100% malt Whiskies from Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries that demonstrates the refined blending art inherited from Masataka Taketsuru.

Tasting notes
Nose
Fresh, fruity and inviting. An abundance of white fruits with peach and freshly pressed grapes. Fine patisserie notes of amandine, marzipan and biscuit.
Taste
Coffee, liquorice, toasted oak, coffee grounds and cigars.
Finish
iquorice candy all the way. A refined bitterness quickly gives way to more integrated, medicinal aromas: camphor & eucalyptus. The finish eventually fades out on malted barley notes.
