Description
Taketsuru 17 Years Old is one of Nikka's most celebrated expressions, a blended malt drawing on malt whisky from both Yoichi in Hokkaido and Miyagikyo in Miyagi Prefecture. This Netherlands bottling at 43% sits within the standard range of market releases for the expression.
Ex-Bourbon oak maturation provides the characteristic vanilla and fruit sweetness that runs through the Taketsuru 17 profile, with Yoichi's heavier, more coastal character anchoring the blend and Miyagikyo's softer, floral side adding elegance. In the typical style of the range, the two malts are balanced so that neither overwhelms the other, producing a rounded and harmonious result.
