What is “pure malt” whisky?
Pure malt refers to a blend of 100% malt whiskies from different distilleries, unlike single malt, which comes from only one.
Is this whisky peated?
It contains a hint of soft peat from Yoichi but remains smooth and balanced — not heavily smoky.
Is this good for beginners?
Yes — its approachable, balanced profile makes it an excellent entry into the world of Japanese malt whiskies.

This version is a refined blend of newer aged malts with a focus on complexity and smoothness, continuing the Taketsuru legacy.
