The Nikka Taketsuru is an exceptionally rich and complex Japanese blended whisky, inspired by Masataka Taketsuru, Japan’s first whisky sommelier. The whisky is a blend of whiskies from two different distilleries and is aged in a variety of casks, including sherry, bourbon, and Japanese mizunara oak. The flavor profile is dominated by ripe fruits such as apple, pear, and apricot, as well as citrus notes like orange, all blended with caramel and honey tones. Oak, vanilla, and spice notes such as cinnamon and cloves deepen and enrich the tasting experience. The whisky finishes with a long, lasting aftertaste of caramel and woody notes, accompanied by a creamy, smooth finish. The Nikka Taketsuru is a true masterpiece that represents the finest of Japanese whisky culture, making it an ideal choice for connoisseurs of refined flavors.
