Taketsuru Pure Malt is a combination of whisky from both Nikka distilleries: Yoichi and Miyagikyo. It’s matured in a combination of sherry butts, bourbon barrels and new American oak. Its gentle malt flavor, fruitiness and well-balanced approachability make it a perfect entry point into the range of Nikka whiskies.

Named after Masataka Taketsuru, who is considered to be the father of Japanese whisky
