Description
Taketsuru 17 Years Old is Nikka's signature blended malt, named for the founder Masataka Taketsuru and combining malt whisky from Yoichi in Hokkaido and Miyagikyo in Miyagi Prefecture. This edition was bottled in 2010 for the European market at 43%, giving it a particular point of reference within the range's release history.
The maturation in Ex-Bourbon oak drives the core character: dried fruit, honey and gentle malt sweetness, with this particular expression showing chocolate and a soft cooked fruit quality alongside fresh fruit brightness. Yoichi adds backbone and a faint coastal note while Miyagikyo brings the rounder, more fragrant side, a balance that defines the Taketsuru house approach.
