Named after the father of Japanese whisky and the founder of Nikka, Masataka Taketsuru, you know you have a quality product when the company names their product after its founder. Along with the Yoichi, this is Nikka’s top brand. This wonderful product was released from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distillery. Nikka Taketsuru 35 Year Old is the oldest available and very limited, with only 1000 bottles released, made for the Japanese market. It contains the oldest available casks from both distilleries. A perfect gift for all Nikka fans!

Tasting Notes

On the Nose

Deep and elegant with rich sherry influence, dark chocolate, dried figs, raisins, and hints of sandalwood. Subtle layers of tobacco leaf and polished oak.

On the Palate

Velvety and complex. Sweet dried fruits, blackberries, and plums balanced with dark honey, leather, and gentle spice. A whisper of smoke weaves through rich oak and roasted nuts.

The Finish

Exceptionally long, warm, and layered. Notes of cocoa, spice, and lingering smoke with a refined sherry sweetness.
