Honoring Masataka Taketsuru: The Visionary Behind Japanese Whisky
Masataka Taketsuru - Father of Japanese Whisky, Founder of Nikka.
In 2012, Nikka introduced the Taketsuru 25-Year-Old Pure Malt, commemorating Masataka Taketsuru, the pioneering figure who brought whisky-making expertise from Scotland to Japan.
This release epitomizes Nikka's dedication to craftsmanship and tradition.
A Blend of Distinction: Yoichi and Miyagikyo Malts
This expression is a harmonious blend of meticulously selected malt whiskies from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, each aged for a minimum of 25 years. The result is a whisky of profound depth and character.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A symphony of tropical fruits, including mango and passion fruit, intertwined with notes of orange marmalade and subtle pipe tobacco.
- Palate: Smooth and soft, presenting a balanced sweetness complemented by winter spices.
- Finish: Long-lasting, with a spicy and smooth conclusion.
The Nikka Taketsuru 25-Year-Old Pure Malt was introduced in Japan in 2010, with only 120 bottles allocated for the European market.
This ultra-limited release underscores its exclusivity and desirability among collectors and enthusiasts.
Its presentation in a stylish black wooden box adds to its allure.
