Nikka Whisky Taketsuru Pure Malt 17 year old 700 ml
About this bottle
Nikka Whisky Taketsuru Pure Malt 17 Year Old is a 700 ml blended malt bottled at 43% ABV, built from malt whiskies of Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. The 17-year age statement refers to the youngest whisky in the blend, so everything in the bottle has at least that much time in wood. Pure malt means it's all malt, with no grain whisky added. Expect the combination of Yoichi's firmer, slightly smoky weight and Miyagikyo's softer fruit, along with well-integrated oak and a long finish. It's a good fit for drinkers who enjoy aged Japanese malts and want a mature, balanced pour.
How to drink Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 17 Year Old
Sip it neat, ideally in a tulip glass with a few drops of water to open the oak and fruit. It's too mature for ice or mixers, so keep it simple and slow.
