Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Non Aged Japanese Whisky

The 2020 release of Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Non Aged Japanese Whisky showcases a new recipe and label design that perfectly captures the essence of the brand.

• A nose of butterscotch and vanilla toffee lead, evolving to crunchy barley sugar
• Toffee apples, peach, spiced bread notes, beeswax, and light honey follow
• Candied lemon and orange peel linger
• A palate of honey drizzle brown bread and fresh apple slices transition to treacle toffee and raisins
• Pears, lemon peel, and singed fruit cake emerge
• A finish of vanilla-sugar-dusted apple slices and toffee give way to cinnamon toast and apple peel

While maintaining its characteristic smoothness and well-rounded blended malt profile. The new formula highlights a remarkable harmony between graceful softness and profound complexity. A luxurious mouthfeel and a hint of smokiness further enhance this.

This unique label honors Masataka Taketsuru - the founder of Nikka and a Japanese pioneer who revolutionized whisky production in Scotland, sharing his expertise with Japan. His successors continue his legacy with a meticulous blend of discipline, curiosity, and open-mindedness, resulting in a perfectly balanced and intricately complex whisky.

A "pure malt," also called a "blended malt," is a fusion of malt whiskies from different distilleries, while a "single malt" is exclusively from within one distillery.
