Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 12 Year Old, Oak Cask, 40%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

86 / 100

The fruit and honey-caramel notes sound approachable, with light peat and oak adding contrast. At 40% ABV, this is a mellow rather than high-strength style, which fits the smooth, clean finish described.
