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. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Named after Nikka’s \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;founder\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, Masataka \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Taketsuru\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, the Taketsuru Pure Malt is a vatting of Whiskies from \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;both \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;the Nikka distilleries: \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Yoichi \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Miyagikyo\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. This includes some from \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;sherry casks\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, giving a good dose of \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;spice \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;throughout. The \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;oak \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;casks also come through with a subtle \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;sweetness \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;from nose to finish. It is clear to see why this is an \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;award-winning malt.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; Taketsuru is a great introduction to \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Japanese Whisky.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;*Nikka has recently changed their labels, and as the original labels are being phased out, there is still a chance that you might receive a bottle different than what is pictured. But rest assured, the liquid remains the same, regardless of the label.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135693185206,"sku":"61086","price":21.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/nikkataketsurupuremalt-700ml-7_61086_01_bea0d5ce_01884905-cb23-4c53-9881-4881c317f964.jpg?v=1779276924","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/nikkataketsurupuremalt-700ml-700ml-61086","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
