Japanese Style Blend.
Made by the Yoichi distillery, the second and smaller distillery of the Nikka Whisky Company. It was founded in 1934 by one of the two most influential men in Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru. Yoichi Distillery lies in southern Hokkaido and has three sides surrounded by mountains, a terrain similar to the one found in Scotland, where Masataka studied the art of Whisky production and returned to Japan as a master blender - with a Scottish wife to boot.
Named after Nikka’s founder, Masataka Taketsuru, the Taketsuru Pure Malt is a vatting of Whiskies from both the Nikka distilleries: Yoichi and Miyagikyo. This includes some from sherry casks, giving a good dose of spice throughout. The oak casks also come through with a subtle sweetness from nose to finish. It is clear to see why this is an award-winning malt. Taketsuru is a great introduction to Japanese Whisky.

John,
Constant, go to performer, hard to beat for the price
anonymous,
Tasted like barley and fish a little. Wasn't my favorite. Very malty is what I would describe it as.
Tom,
reminds me of an islay, particularly lagavulin 16. for 2/3 the price this is a great value for me
Patrick,
This was my first Japanese whisky and was very good. Has the taste of the oak casks and is very smooth.
Matthew,
If you like Scotch, you will like this whisky
