The 12 year old variant of Nikka's incredible range of blended malts, named after the company's founder, Masataka Taketsuru. Very good indeed.
Floral and balanced, with notes of plum jam, cut herbs, rhubarb pie, vanilla ice cream and cold coffee.
Sweet and oily, apple cider, cinnamon sticks, buttery toffee, almond, salty butter, custard.
Good length, creamy, notes of digestive biscuit and rhubarb crumble.
Bought this for my son for Xmas. He's always wanted a Japanese whisky, I hope he likes it
Seriously when I first popped this open I couldn't stop sniffing it. A very deep and enticing aroma My first sip, and in an instant my tongue was smiling Layers of flavours swirled all over it Every Japanese whiskey I have tasted cements my love of their skill A must..spot on comments by the master of malt chaps
I love it. A huge fan of Japanese whiskeys in general.. this is right up my alley. Is it better than Hibiki and Yamazaki 12yo ? Probably not. But lovely all the same. Jason Breen
Smooth, rich, fruits, caramel toffee. I can't detect any smoke but that's just fine with me. Just a really good tasting whisky.
