Taketsuru Pure Malt Nikka Whisky 43% 700ml Japanese Domestic Whisky | With Carton
Taketsuru Pure Malt: The Pinnacle of Harmony, Named After the Legendary Taketsuru, Offering a Drinkability That Surpasses Blended Whiskies
Named after Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky, "Taketsuru Pure Malt" is the culmination of Nikka Whisky's masterful blending techniques. While harnessing the powerful individuality unique to malt whisky, it pursues an "astonishing drinkability" akin to blended whiskies, which use grain whisky. By exquisitely harmonizing malt whiskies of different characters, it achieves an unparalleled smooth mouthfeel.
Key Features: Pure Malt Woven from Two Sacred Sites
The weighty and robust malt from the Yoichi Distillery in the northern land, and the elegant and light malt from the forest distillery, Miyagikyo Distillery. Bringing these two distinct whiskies together is the expertise and experience of skilled blenders. By setting sherry cask matured whisky as the key malt and combining it with re-made cask matured whisky, a lustrous texture and deep richness are created.
Flavor and Aroma Characteristics
- 【Aroma】Fresh and sweet-sour fruity notes reminiscent of apple and apricot, overlaid with sweet and gentle cask aromas of toast and vanilla.
- 【Taste】Fruity notes reminiscent of banana and navel orange coexist with a firm malt richness and the profound taste of peat.
- 【Finish】A sweet and bittersweet finish, like bitter chocolate, accompanied by gentle cask and peat aromas, lingers pleasantly and long.
Recommended Ways to Enjoy (Pairing)
Its overwhelming balance ensures that its character remains intact whether enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or as a highball. It pairs well with a wide range of foods, and especially by leveraging its bitter finish, pairing it with nuts or dried fruits after a meal, or even with a slightly richer chocolate, creates a moment of pure bliss.
