Aroma
Upon nosing the Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year Old Pure Malt, I notice the delightful blend of aromas. There’s a presence of fruit like apricot and peach combined with citrus, giving it a refreshing character. I can also detect hints of honey, leather, and chocolate, adding a layer of richness to the nose.
Flavor
As I take my first sip, the taste profile reveals itself beautifully. The initial flavors of vanilla and caramel are complemented by sweet notes of orange peel and toffee. There’s also a presence of nuts, adding a depth to the taste that is truly inviting. The oak tannins provide a sense of maturity, while traces of smoke offer an underlying complexity. Overall, the flavor offers a well-balanced mix of fruity, sweet, and rich elements.
Finish
The finish does not disappoint. The lingering hints of cinnamon and woody spices leave a warm impression, while the citrus notes keep things fresh and engaging. The remnants of sherry wood and dried apricots add a delightful touch to the final moments of this remarkable Japanese pure malt whisky.
