Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt White Label Japanese Whisky

750 mL | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | Pure Malt Japanese Whisky | Japan

Process & Profile

Named in honor of Masataka Taketsuru, the founding father of Japanese whisky, this Pure Malt expression blends malt whiskies from Nikka’s Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. While classified as a “pure malt,” meaning it's composed only of malt whiskies with no grain spirits, it is still a blend from multiple distilleries, offering layered complexity. The White Label emphasizes harmony—melding peated character from Yoichi with the fruit-forward elegance of Miyagikyo.

Tasting Notes

  • Palate: Balanced and smooth with flavors of stone fruits, cocoa, soft peat, and malt

  • Finish: Medium-long with gentle smoke, sweet malt, and subtle spice

What Makes It Special

  • A tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, a pioneer of Japanese whisky

  • 100% malt whisky blend from two renowned distilleries: Yoichi and Miyagikyo

  • Delivers the signature Nikka balance of gentle peat and refined fruit

  • Elegant, layered, and versatile—ideal for both sipping and pairing

  • Uniquely Japanese in style, yet influenced by Scottish traditions
