This bottling of a 17-year-old Nikka Blended Whisky was produced as part of the Tsuru series in a white ceramic decanter; the blend contains distillates from Yoichi, Miyagikyo and Nishinomiya.
The weight of the bottle indicates a good fill level.
The Nikka distillery is located in the north of Japan in Yoichi on the island of Hokkaido. It was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru after he left the Yamazaki distillery in the same year. Today, Nikka belongs to ASAHI Breweries with the two distilleries Yochi in Hokkaido and Miyagikyo in the north of Honshu, as well as the Ben Nevis Distillery in Scotland.
The whisky from Japan is like its makers. At first glance, reserved, respectful and polite. On closer inspection, however, enormously profound and multi-layered. Japanese whisky is the result of perfected craftsmanship. Many whiskies from Japan carry exotic fruity aromas and a floral bouquet in front of them.
