Nikka Taketsuru @Blue Moon Siam Paragon

Nikka Taketsuru Collection

1. Nikka Taketsuru - Pure Malt

Region: Japan (Blended Malt / Pure Malt)
ABV: 43%

NOSE: Elegant and nuanced. Fresh orchard fruits—green apple and pear—blend with gentle malt sweetness, vanilla, and light floral notes. A subtle touch of smoke and soft oak adds depth without overpowering the aroma.

PALATE: Smooth, balanced, and quietly complex. Honeyed malt and creamy vanilla lead, followed by ripe fruit, gentle spice, and a whisper of peat smoke. The marriage of Yoichi and Miyagikyo malts creates a harmonious texture with refined clarity.

FINISH: Medium to long, clean, and graceful. Lingering malt sweetness, soft smoke, and delicate oak fade slowly, leaving a calm and composed aftertaste.

2. Nikka Taketsuru - Pure Malt 17 Year Old

Region: Japan (Blended Malt / Pure Malt)
ABV: 43%

NOSE: Deep, refined, and beautifully mature. Dried orchard fruits, ripe pear, and baked apple lead, followed by honey, vanilla, and polished oak. Subtle notes of cocoa, leather, and a delicate wisp of smoke add quiet complexity.

PALATE: Silky and composed. Layers of honeyed malt, toffee, and dried fruits unfold seamlessly, balanced by gentle spice and soft peat smoke. Long aging brings remarkable harmony, with richness delivered in a restrained, elegant Japanese style.

FINISH: Long, calm, and lingering. Soft smoke, sweet oak, and faint dark chocolate slowly fade, leaving a refined and contemplative aftertaste.

3. Nikka Taketsuru - Pure Malt 21 Year Old

Region: Japan (Blended Malt / Pure Malt)
ABV: 43%

NOSE: Exceptionally elegant and deeply layered. Rich dried fruits—fig, raisin, and baked apple—intertwine with honey, vanilla pod, and refined oak. Gentle notes of dark chocolate, leather, and a faint, well-integrated whisper of smoke add profound maturity.

PALATE: Silky, expansive, and beautifully composed. Waves of toffee, honeyed malt, and dried orchard fruits glide across the palate, followed by cocoa, roasted nuts, and delicate spice. Extended aging brings remarkable harmony, with subtle peat adding depth rather than intensity.

FINISH: Very long, calm, and aristocratic. Lingering sweet oak, soft smoke, dark chocolate, and gentle spice fade slowly, leaving a refined and contemplative aftertaste.
