Nikka Taketsuru 21 Year Old Pure Malt is a rare, award-winning Japanese whisky crafted in honor of Masataka Taketsuru, the founding father of Japanese whisky. Blended exclusively from aged malt whiskies produced at Nikka’s Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, this expression showcases the height of balance, complexity, and maturity. With over two decades of aging, it offers an extraordinary harmony of deep fruit, sherry richness, oak, and gentle smoke — a true masterpiece for collectors and connoisseurs.

Elegant, layered, and deeply satisfying — this is Japanese whisky at its finest.

Have Any Questions?

Is this a single malt?
No — it’s a pure malt, meaning it's a blend of 100% malt whiskies from Nikka’s two distilleries (Yoichi and Miyagikyo), not just one.

Is this a limited release?
Yes — this age-stated expression has been discontinued and is now highly sought-after on the secondary market.

How does this compare to the non-age-stated Taketsuru?
The 21 Year is significantly more mature, with deeper sherry character, richer body, and greater complexity.

Is it collectible?
Absolutely. Its scarcity, award-winning status, and historical significance make it one of the most collectible Japanese whiskies.
