Nikka Taketsuru 17 Years + GB 43% 70cl
Nikka Taketsuru 17 is one of the stronger examples of Japanese blended malt that delivers real age‑depth, complexity, and refinement. It’s not a “slam dunk bold” whisky, but rather one of finesse — mature, layered, elegant, with both sweet & savory notes, a touch of smoke, and oak spice.
For whisky lovers who enjoy richer and aged malts, but without extremely heavy peat or overpowering influence, this is a superb choice. It rewards slow sipping, letting your senses pick up its many facets. If you manage to find a well‑priced bottle, it is worth it.
Tasting Note
Nose: Fresh and fruity with fruit salad, berries, sultanas and some other dried fruit, vanilla, fragrant wood and honey.

Finish: Medium-length, slightly bittersweet, oak, fruit and cocoa.
