Taketsuru 21 Years Old
Taketsuru 21 combines the strong character of Yoichi with the elegance and precision of Miyagikyo.
Both masculine and feminine, traditional and innovative, this outstanding pure malt is a worthy tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky and founder of Nikka.
Selected as world’s best blended malt four times, the Taketsuru 21 is quite simply one of the great whiskies of our times.
