Description

A brand of pure malt Japanese whiskies produced by the Nikka Distilling Co. They contain whisky from its Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries and the label was launched in 2000 to honour company founder, Masataka Taketsuru. This 21 Year Old expression is a blend of carefully selected aged malts from both distilleries, embodying a perfect harmony of rich sherry sweetness, smoky depth, and refined Japanese elegance. It has won multiple 'World's Best Blended Malt Whisky' awards.
