“OMG, i can't believe how delicious this whisky is. the slight kick at the end was a surprise as i expected it to be smoother but then again, it went so well that the little kick at the end just made it seem exotic. i need to stock up on this.”

Reviews for Nikka Taketsuru 17 Year Old (With Wooden Presentation Box)

Yummy and Epic.

The only whiskey drinkers that would not appreciate this amazing blend are those too loyal to their own national brands or whiskies. Park your scotch, rye or bourbon brain at home and sip this unattached to price, location, or surroundings. Tak.17 is dreamy and memorable.

Why stumble aroud, when it´s there all the time!

After having, for years, tasted quite a lot of excellent Japanse whiskies , I suddenly "stumbled" on to this Nikka Masataka Taktetsuru Pure Malt 17 year old. I was quite taken aback! This is so near perfection, a whisky bringing a man so close to Paradise. To taste this beverage can only match the ultimate feeling, when the very keen bird watcher is getting the uniqe chance to actually watch the rare "Spoonbilled Sandpiper" (Calidris pygmea). Heaven closes in – and life is at it´s very best.

Ok

Dissapointed. Had a sip of nikka yoichi and suddenly understood whisky. I found a bottle of this and found it inferior. I'm not a whisky buff, but couldn't get into this. It's ok but doesn't draw me in.

Not a value for money option

Very good balanced palate, spicy enough and long smooth and dry finish. Easy to drink and a good drum. There are much more value for money alternatives though.

Perfection

A truly unique whiskey, tastes absolutely beautiful, the complex flavour long lasting in the mouth very rounded completely magnificent, a drink not to be hurried only to be fully enjoyed by oneself (friends drink it too fast) Truly one of mankind's perfect gifts.
