Product details
The Nikka Tsuru Blended Japanese Whisky is a distinguished Japanese expression first introduced in 1976 and closely connected to the legacy of Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka. Tsuru, meaning “crane,” has long represented an important part of the Nikka portfolio, with its presentation reflecting Japanese symbolism of elegance and tradition. The expression brings together carefully selected malt and grain components associated with Nikka’s renowned Yoichi and Miyagikyo sites, creating a balanced profile that combines depth with refinement. Its historical significance and connection to Taketsuru’s decades-long dedication make Nikka Tsuru a notable expression for collectors and enthusiasts of Japanese whisky.
The aromatic profile offers delicate notes of apple, pear, and citrus, complemented by subtle floral tones and vanilla. On the palate, impressions of honey and caramel are balanced by orchard fruit, with cinnamon and nutmeg adding gentle spice. A smooth, velvety texture carries the layered character toward an elegant and lingering finish, where sweet malt, oak, and dark chocolate notes leave a refined final impression.
