This is a whisky that is produced by the Nikka Whisky Distilling Company in Japan and is the entry level product in their Taketsuru
Pure Malt range. Nikka own two single malt distilleries - Miyakigyo (pronounced
mee-yag-ik-yo) and Yoichi (pronounced
yo-ee-chee)- and both are included in this whisky. The term
Pure Malt is used as there is no grain whisky in the product, just single malts. This 12 years old expression is joined by two others in the Taketsuru
Pure Malt range, which have age statements of 17 and 21 years of age.
