    Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year Old (with Wooden Box)

    From Nikka's multi-award-winning Taketsuru blended malt range comes this exquisite 21 year old, complete with a wooden presentation box (which many other bottles of this esteemed whisky don't come with).

    This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

    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.

    utter perfection

    This truly is the level Japan is at now.. The nose says Japan in a glass.. I could harp on all day about this.. Not got a problem with the price.. Just a wonderful dram.... Steve Mcgiff, st.Ives Cornwall...

    So good I think it's the best of the month

    This is truly an amazing taste, so much so that they won best whisky review of the month (<a href="http://www.whiskeyreviews.org/best-whiskey-of-the-month-april-2014/" rel="nofollow">Best whiskey of the month &#8211; April 2014</a>) on my site and in my opinion is one of the best in the world! Try it - you will not be disappointed!

    Craftmansship at it's best

    I ordered this bottle after I had a dram of the 17yo and was just expecting more.... which is what I got, except for peat, which is very pleasent. When you had the 17yo and then go over to the 21 it is blowing your feet. The 17yo is exceptional, the 21yo is outstanding. It is so smooth, fruity with oak and a hint of peat. This one is the best bottle I have ever had!
