Nikka Whisky Taketsuru Pure Malt Whisky 750 ml

Taketsuru Pure Malt is Nikka's namesake tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, the founder often called the father of Japanese whisky. 'Pure malt' means it's a blend of malt whiskies only, drawn from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, without any grain whisky in the mix, unlike a standard blended whisky. Expect dried fruit, malt, and a touch of smoke on the nose, a rich, rounded palate with sherry-like sweetness, and a warm, gently smoky finish. A well-regarded, widely available entry into Nikka's range for drinkers who want depth without a single-distillery price tag.

How to drink Taketsuru Pure Malt

Sip it neat or with a splash of water; it's substantial enough to also work well in a whisky highball if you want something lighter.
