Nikka Taketsuru 17 Year Old
Nikka
Tasting Notes
This exquisite 17-year-old blended malt whisky pays homage to Nikka's founder, the legendary Masataka Taketsuru. As you uncork the bottle, an alluring aroma of fresh fruit salad, juicy berries, and succulent sultanas envelops your senses, accompanied by the sweetness of vanilla, fragrant wood notes, and a hint of honey. On the palate, it unfolds with a delightful spicy warmth, unveiling layers of rich vanilla, tangy blood orange, and a delicate chocolate undertone. The finish lingers pleasantly, offering a medium-length experience that strikes a harmonious balance between a slightly bittersweet oakiness, lingering fruity notes, and a subtle cocoa nuttiness. This remarkable whisky is a testament to Taketsuru's pioneering spirit and Nikka's unwavering pursuit of excellence.
