History,
Named after the father of Japanese whisky and the founder of Nikka, Masataka Taketsuru; you know you have a quality product when the company names their product after its founder. Along with the Yoichi, this is Nikka’s top brand. A whisky with the very finest fragrance, body, and taste.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: sweet corn syrup note of the Nikka Coffey Grain, but with even more caramel and vanilla now, pear and green apple, light smokey note
Palate: woody and malt characteristics, with enhanced caramel/vanilla flavours up-front. These are balanced by a slight bitterness, black tea. Nice rich texture and mouth feel, very creamy.
Finish: Moderately long, with lingering cinnamon and cloves. There is both a subtle sweetness and bitterness to the finish – like candied ginger
