Taketsuru Pure Malt Japanese Whisky | 70 cl | 43 percent | Citrus, Dark Chocolate and Rich Smoke | Perfect for Gifting

## Features

- JAPANESE WHISKY WITH CAPTIVATING FRESHNESS - Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt is a bright, complex whisky crafted from a blend of single malts from Nikka’s Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. It balances sherry-cask fruitiness with Yoichi’s coastal, smoky depth for a refined and layered profile.
- CITRUS AND PEAR AROMAS WITH NOTES OF DARK CHOCOLATE AND RICH SMOKE - A combination of Miyagikyo’s fruity, honeyed malts and Yoichi’s smoky, nutty character delivers citrus and pear aromas, with dark chocolate and maritime smoke on the palate.
- ICONIC WHISKY FROM NIKKA - Founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru—known as the Father of Japanese Whisky—Nikka blends Scottish distilling tradition with Japanese precision. After studying in Scotland in 1918, Taketsuru returned to Japan with his Scottish wife, Rita, and a vision that shaped the future of Japanese whisky.
- AN HOMAGE TO THE FATHER OF JAPANESE WHISKY - Created by Masataka’s son, Takeshi, this whisky honours the founder’s dedication to blending. A higher proportion of Yoichi malt brings earthy depth and nods to Nikka’s original house style.
- BEST ENJOYED NEAT OR IN A CLASSIC MANHATTAN COCKTAIL - Best savoured neat to explore its full complexity—just a few drops of water can lift its grassy notes. Also perfect in a Manhattan for a rich, elegant twist.
