Tasting notes. www.maltadvocate.com (Vol. 22, #1) Reviewed by: Dave Broom
“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
