“At last!” they cry. Anchor Distilling is bringing in whiskies from Nikka. I taunted you with the first of the initial brace in 2010, the exemplary Yoichi 15-year-old (a hefty 95 points). The second is the firm’s vatted malt, Taketsuru 12-year-old. A mix of Yoichi and Miyagikyo distillates, it is the latter which is to the fore here: a honey-laden mix of cut flowers, persimmon, vanilla, and apple. More are on their way. 81 points

Description
This 12-year-old bottling is made from blending malts from two of Nikka’s distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo and is named after the Father of the Japanese Whisky Industry and the founder of Nikka, whisky-pilgrim ‘Masataka Taketsuru’.
Sales of Nikka’s range of blended, pure malt and single malt whiskies have gained such celebrity over the past decade that it’s become virtually impossible to source some of the aged statement expressions.
Please note: The box and front label shows some signs of wear on the top flaps but is in good condition overall.
Our only bottle to sell.
