A blend of the two Nikka single malts, Taketsuru combines the strong character of Yoichi with the elegance and precision of Miyagikyo. Both masculine and feminine, traditional and innovative, this outstanding pure malt whisky is a worthy tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky and founder of Nikka.

TASTING COMMENTS FROM THE WORLD WHISKIES AWARDS 2007
“Head and shoulders above the rest in this category. A complex mix of oak, smoke and dense toffeed sweetness.”
Dave Broom
“Apple blossom, juicy pears and apples, mingled with fresh grass on the nose. Also a hint of mint. Smooth, delicate and sweet on the palate with a sweet rounded finish. Absolutely charming. Reminiscent of a walk in a Norman orchard bathed in morning dew.”
Martine Nouet
“Rich and inviting nose, with lots of sherried fruits. Rich red fruits and weighty aged malt and wood notes. The finish is lingering and delightful.”
Dominic Roskrow
“Big with lots of ripe fruit, lychees in particular. Some mint and butterscotch increase the complexity. Soft and chewy with some mango character. Very attractive.”
Keir Sword
“A big whisky with some distinct sherry notes. Japanese whisky at its best.”
