Description

The Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt Grande is a special edition blended malt whisky from Nikka, crafted from malt whiskies exclusively sourced from Nikka's two acclaimed distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo. This travel retail exclusive expression, bottled at 45% ABV, offers an elevated take on the classic Taketsuru blend, showcasing enhanced fruitiness, gentle oak aromas, and subtle sweetness, all rounded off by a pleasantly bitter finish. It aims for a balance of complexity and drinkability, with a richer mouthfeel.

Nose
Complex and expressive with gentle oak, soft sweetness, and fruit-forward aromas of apples, apricots, and citrus. Hints of vanilla, toasted biscuit, and a subtle touch of peat are also present.
Palate
Round and silky with enhanced fruitiness, sweet spice, and candied fruit notes. Flavors of yuzu custard, malt, creamy oak, and honey are balanced by a pleasant bitter aftertaste and a building peat smoke.
Finish
A long, smooth finish with lingering peat smoke, subtle baking spice warmth, and notes of stone fruits, vanilla, and a touch of fruit and spice.
