Taketsuru 21 Bottling Note

Taketsuru 21 was crowned World's Best Blended Malt Whisky at the 2010 World Whiskies Awards. It really is a fabulous whisky, and for those of you who enjoyed the brilliant 17 year old this offers just a bit more richness, a little hint more chocolate and coffee.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: Plenty of oak influence with notes of prunes and soy sauce. Cocoa, espresso beans, almost a touch of anise.

Palate: Spices, black pepper, loads of tangy sherry, hints of turmeric and other spices. Then ground ginger, mixed peels, hints of marmalade.

Finish: Long, good oaky grip with a perfect balance of spice.

User Reviews of the Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year Old

The brandy snapps of all whiskies

It's indeed a very special whisky, with scent of brandy snapps sweetness on the nose and light sweet smokiness to the palate, guaranteed to sale down your throat.

Divine.

Just two words: liquid gold...

Utterly delicious

Balance, depth, subtlety, strength, a bit of sherry (well, more than a bit - but certainly not too much), honey, spice and a wisp of smoke too. Wow. Complex and compelling. I love the Taketsuru 17 - but this is even better.

Just gorgeous

One of my favourites, if not THE favourite. Rich and, yes, almost chocolatey. Superb.

close to perfection

If you like smooth, complex and subtle then this is perfection. There is a flavor component to this that appears after about 1.8 seconds and surprises you! Could be a tad more warm/powerful. I don't taste any smoke at all (a good thing). You need to taste this. /Joakim

Hot cherry blossoms

Nose: Cheeky on the nose. Really smells (of soy sauce). Oaky doaky. Taste: remorseful and firm. Concluding : a gentle walk with a mugging at the end.

Absolutely agree

Excellent whiskey. I definitely recommend to buy.

I know that taste...

If you like this one, maybe you should buy Red Breast 12 instead. Same value for less than half the price.
