Nikka Taketsuru 25 Year Pure Malt - 700ml Michter's 10 year old Bourbon 2020 A bit of corn huskThe 25 year old edition of Nikka's Taketsuru blended malt whisky is a very rare sight. The Taketsuru expression was named in honour of the company's founder, Masataka Taketsuru, made with malt whiskies from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. The well aged whiskies within this brilliant blended malt display a fantastic balance of Sherried goodness, floral elegance and a subtle hint of peat.
