Nikka Whisky Pure Malt Taketsuru 750 ml

Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt is a refined tribute to the life and legacy of Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka Whisky and the father of Japanese whisky. Crafted from a marriage of single malts from both Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, this expression embodies the perfect balance between power and grace with the hallmark of Nikka’s blending mastery.

Named in honor of the man who brought the art of Scottish whisky-making to Japan, Taketsuru Pure Malt captures his pursuit of harmony and authenticity. The whisky opens with aromas of dried fruit, honey, and toasted oak, leading into a palate rich with caramel, malt, spice, and subtle smoke. It’s elegant yet full-bodied. A whisky that bridges two worlds while standing proudly on its own.
