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!
Plenty of oak influence with notes of prunes and soy sauce. Cocoa, espresso beans, almost a touch of anise.
Spices, black pepper, loads of tangy sherry, hints of turmeric and other spices. Then ground ginger, mixed peels, hints of marmalade.
Long, good oaky grip with a perfect balance of spice.
If you like this one, maybe you should buy Red Breast 12 instead. Same value for less than half the price.
Excellent whiskey. I definitely recommend to buy.
Nose: Cheeky on the nose. Really smells (of soy sauce). Oaky doaky. Taste: remorseful and firm. Concluding : a gentle walk with a mugging at the end.
If you like smooth, complex and subtle then this is perfection. There is a flavor component to this that appears after about 1.8 seconds and surprises you! Could be a tad more warm/powerful. I don't taste any smoke at all (a good thing). You need to taste this. /Joakim
One of my favourites, if not THE favourite. Rich and, yes, almost chocolatey. Superb.
