Nikka distilleryTaketsuru, produced by Nikka Whisky, is a distinguished single malt whisky named after Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka and a pioneer of Japanese whisky-making. Established in 1934, the Yoichi Distillery, where Taketsuru is crafted, is located near the coast of Hokkaido, allowing for a unique maritime influence on the whisky. Masataka Taketsuru’s experience studying traditional Scottish distilling methods is reflected in the craftsmanship of Taketsuru whiskies, which combine traditional techniques with Japanese precision.

The Taketsuru range includes various age expressions, with Taketsuru 17 Year Old and Taketsuru 21 Year Old being particularly celebrated. These whiskies are known for their complex profiles, featuring rich notes of dried fruits, honey, and subtle smoke, complemented by a smooth, balanced finish. The careful blending of malt from both the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries contributes to the layered flavours and elegance of the whisky.

Taketsuru is appreciated for its craftsmanship, reflecting the harmony of Japanese and Scottish whisky traditions. As part of Nikka’s commitment to quality and innovation, Taketsuru continues to earn accolades worldwide, solidifying its place among the finest expressions of Japanese single malt whisky.
