Insider knowledge: Nikka Taketsuru 17 Year Old whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Japan. If distilled in America the spelling would be Nikka Taketsuru 17 Year Old whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
The nose is fresh and fruity with fruit salad, berries, vanilla spice, wood and honey. The palate is fruity and of good body. It is rather rounded with vanilla and a little chocolate. The finish is of medium-length with a bittersweet character.
