Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt

It bears the name of Masataka Taketsuru, founder of Nikka and considered the father of Japanese whisky, who learned the trade in Scotland. It is a blend of malts from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, with no grain whisky. It combines Miyagikyo’s fruit and delicacy with Yoichi’s more intense, slightly smoky character: fruit, malt, spice and soft smoke. A great introduction to both distilleries.
