Nikka Taketsuru 21 Pure Malt

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Blended Japanese Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

The nose on this Japanese classic is light and clean with a hint of grass. The taste is complex with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, dark chocolate, and a touch of salt. The finish is sweet and long with a bit of fruitiness.
