Taketsuru Pure Malt 12 Year Whisky

Nose is apple, fresh and light. In the mouth very light and jovial as well. Fruity and then lightly bitter on the finale. Very feminin and elegant. — 10 years ago

Black Label Taketsuru Pure Malt Whisky

I bought this for the winter months and finished the last of it over the weekend. This is a blended malt named in honour of Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese Whisky. He was the first Japanese who mastered Whisky making in Scotland and brought this expertise back to Japan. It was an incredibly pure and rich Whisky with a certain smokiness. I don’t drink enough Whisky to know the difference but this could easily have been Scotch to my palate. 43% ABV. — 3 years ago

They are wonderful whiskies. I had the pleasure of visiting the distillery in 2006…wish I had saved a few bottles! Highly recommend a visit!

Totally agree Andrew. In 2018 I had a skiing trip to Niseko with my son and many of their better whiskies seem to come from the Island of Hokkaido.
