About this bottle
Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year is named for Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky, and blends pure malt whiskies from Nikka's two distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Two decades of aging brings deep complexity — dried fruit, dark chocolate, and toasted oak up front, with a rich, slightly smoky mid-palate and a long, elegant finish. It's built to honor the man who studied in Scotland and brought that knowledge home to found Japanese whisky as a category. Bottled at 86 proof, it's one of the most historically significant bottles in Japanese whisky.
How to drink Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year
Neat, and unhurried — 21 years of pure malt blending deserves to be tasted without dilution. A single large cube is acceptable if you want it slightly cooler, but water isn't necessary here.
