About this bottle
Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt is a blended malt Japanese whisky named for Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka who studied whisky-making in Scotland before returning to build Japan's second malt distillery. It marries malt whisky from Nikka's two distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo — one coastal and peated, one inland and fruitier — matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and sherry casks. Bottled at 43% ABV, it carries dried fruit, honey, and a whisper of smoke, with a smooth, rounded finish that reflects the blend of both house styles rather than either extreme. It's a tribute bottling built to honor the man who founded the company, and a solid all-rounder for anyone curious about Nikka beyond the single malts.
How to drink Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt
Sip it neat or with a few drops of water to let the honey and dried fruit come forward; it also holds up well in a mizuwari (whisky and water) if you want it lighter. A good malt for slow, unhurried drinking.
