From the nose, it reveals a generous and refined palette, dominated by praline and milk chocolate notes, quickly joined by fruity aromas of orange zest, juicy pear, and mirabelle plum. The palate is full and creamy, offering a soft and silky texture that elegantly coats the palate. The balance between roundness and fruit is remarkable, with beautiful depth and a long and warm finish. An expressive whisky, both accessible and complex, that will appeal to both enthusiasts and connoisseurs. A true must-have for a whisky cellar !

The brand : Born in 1894 into a family of sake producers, Masataka Taketsuru is now considered the father of Japanese whisky. After training as a chemist, he was hired by the Settsu Shuzo company, which sent him to Scotland in 1918 to serve his apprenticeship. Masataka then developed a passion for whisky and decided to dedicate his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. His growing success enabled him to establish a second one in 1969 near Sendai: Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the Nikka group today offers its splendid and renowned range of Japanese whiskies.
