Launched in 2020 with a refined formula and a new label design, Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt is named in honour of Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka and father of Japanese whisky. Produced from a blend of 100% malt whiskies to showcase the contrast and balance from Nikka’s two distilleries located in the north of Japan: Yoichi malt and Miyagikyo malt aged in sherry barrels, and Miyagikyo malt aged in remade barrels. Bottled at 43%.

Nose: Fresh, sweet and sour fruit aroma like apples and apricots, sweet and soft oak aroma reminiscent of toast and vanilla.

Palate: It has a fruity taste like banana and navel orange, and a light yet firm malt thickness and peaty richness.

Finish: The bitter and bittersweet aftertaste continues pleasantly with a gentle oak and peaty aroma.
