Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Non Aged Japanese Whisky

Nikka Taketsuru pure malt non aged Japanese whisky was introduced in 2020. This release features an enhanced recipe and a fresh label design that embodies the brand's essence.

• A nose of butterscotch and vanilla toffee lead, evolving to crunchy barley sugar
• Toffee apples, peach, spiced bread notes, beeswax, and light honey follow
• Candied lemon and orange peel linger
• A palate of honey drizzle brown bread and fresh apple slices transition to treacle toffee and raisins
• Pears, lemon peel, and singed fruit cake emerge
• A finish of vanilla-sugar-dusted apple slices and toffee give way to cinnamon toast and apple peel

While maintaining its characteristic smoothness and well-rounded blended malt profile. The new formula highlights a remarkable harmony between graceful softness and profound complexity. A luxurious mouthfeel and a hint of smokiness further enhance this.

This special label pays homage to Masataka Taketsuru, Nikka's founder and the pioneering Japanese who mastered whisky-making in Scotland, imparting that expertise to Japan. He combined discipline with curiosity and an open mind. This tribute from his successors showcases a flawless equilibrium and intricate complexity achieved through the precise blending techniques passed down from the founder.

A "pure malt," also called a "blended malt," is a fusion of malt whiskies from different distilleries, while a "single malt" is exclusively from within one distillery.
