Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt - Pre 2020
A pre-2020 bottling of non-age-statement Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt whisky, named after the company's founder, Masataka Taketsuru. It features plenty of whisky from the Miyagikyo distillery, as well as a percentage of malt matured in sherry casks to give it a rich, spiced nose.
This bottle was part of a private collection and may show signs of wear if of a certain vintage - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sherry-soaked plums, raisins and green apple slices. Honey'd cereal, black pepper and hint of barrel char.
Palate
Espresso beans, milk chocolate, tobacco leaf and lingering Sherried fruit. There's a slight touch of smoke as it develops...
Finish
Elegant smoke continues, with golden barley and a final hint of coffee.
Overall
Superb Japanese blended malt from Nikka.
