Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 21 Year

Spirits Bar, Shinjuku. Fantastic whisky, so delicious and rich.

Sweet and oaky nose. You can definitely tell the age here. This is such a beautiful tasting whisky. The kind you can sip on a porch and dream with. Strong flavor and yet light at the same time. It doesn’t punch you, it holds your hand.

Overall preferred the 17 over this one.

It’s very difficult to compare this to the Hibiki 21. Much darker, much more smoky and peaty. But overall, it has the same quality and is equally balanced more like a Johnnie Walker, but better. 95
