Taketsuru 17 years: the return of a legend
Nikka Taketsuru 17 Years Old Pure Malt is one of the great classics of Japanese whisky and pays tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, founder of Nikka and pioneer of Japanese distillation after studying in Scotland. It is a blended malt made exclusively from single malts from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries: the former provides structure, light peaty nuances and a marine character, while the latter brings elegance, fruitiness and smoothness. The long ageing process of at least 17 years creates a refined balance, which has contributed to the international fame of Japanese whiskies.
The nose is refined and progressive, with baked apple, ripe pear, honey, almond and custard, followed by cocoa and a hint of delicate peat. The palate is silky, rich in light caramel, butter biscuit, hazelnut and sweet spices, while the finish is long and harmonious, with milk chocolate, candied orange peel and a slight elegant smokiness.
Perfect to enjoy neat in a tulip glass, possibly with a few drops of water to enhance the aromas.
It is a whisky for meditation, ideal when paired with milk chocolate, gianduia, dry pastries or medium-aged cheeses. Today, it is also a bottle highly sought after by enthusiasts due to the increasing rarity of declared ageing in Japanese whisky.
