Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 700ml

This is a signature label in honor of Nikka's founder Masataka Taketsuru, the first Japanese who mastered whisky-making in Scotland and brought this expertise back to Japan. While being a disciplined craftsman, he was also a person of curiosity and open-mindedness. This is a tribute to Masataka from his successors, highlighting a perfect balance with complexity achieved by precise blending inherited from the founder.
 
A pure malt is a blend of malt whiskies from various distilleries, whereas a single malt is a whisky made exclusively from one distillery. A pure malt is also known as a blended malt.
