Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year Old Pure Malt Japanese Whisky
Blend of the two Nikka single malts, Taketsuru 21 combines the strong character of Yoichi with the elegance and precision of Miyagikyo.
Both masculine and feminine, traditional and innovative, this outstanding pure malt is a worthy tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky and founder of Nikka.
Selected as world’s best blended malt four times, the Taketsuru 21 is quite simply one of the great whiskies of our times.
Tasting Notes
Spices, black pepper, loads of tangy sherry, hints of turmeric and other spices. Then ground ginger, mixed peels, hints of marmalade.
Plenty of oak influence with notes of prunes and soy sauce. Cocoa, espresso beans, almost a touch of anise.
Long, good oaky grip with a perfect balance of spice.
