This 17 year old pure malt carries his name and his blueprint: malts aged at least 17 years at Yoichi, his rugged coastal Hokkaido distillery, and Miyagikyo, its elegant counterpart in the hills outside Sendai, with a generous share of sherry-cask maturation in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe awards are real and repeated — World's Best Blended Malt at the World Whiskies Awards in 2014, 2015 and 2018.

Taketsuru 21 is a vatting of malts aged at least 21 years from Nikka's two distilleries: bold, maritime Yoichi on Hokkaido's coast and refined Miyagikyo in the mountains of Miyagi. It's named for Masataka Taketsuru, the founder who brought whisky-making home from Scotland and earned the title of father of Japanese whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikka ended the age-statement Taketsuru line in 2020 to protect its aging stocks, and no bottles have shipped since — what remains is a finite piece of the category's history.

One of the most decorated Japanese malts ever bottled, and it drinks like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nikka Whisky","offers":[{"title":"700ml","offer_id":50890908729583,"sku":"VWS200435698","price":429.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0507\/7149\/3045\/files\/9db7a40e-4687-41db-81a1-854208832e5e.png?v=1790349514"}],"url":"https:\/\/tipxy.com\/collections\/nikka-taketsuru-pure-malt-17-21.oembed","provider":"TIPXY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
