A masterful blend of Yoichi’s bold, peaty character and Miyagikyo’s smooth elegance, this 17-year-old pure malt is rich, complex, and beautifully balanced. Layers of mellow fruit, vanilla, and subtle peat unfold with every sip, offering depth without losing its silky smoothness. Named after Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky, it’s a tribute to craftsmanship, tradition, and the pursuit of perfection. Presented in a premium gift box — ideal for collectors and special occasions.

"The strength of this whisky lies in the way the subtle aroma of peat builds up over time," says world-renowned British whisky critic Jim Murray in appreciation of Taketsuru 17 Years Old. Its mellow, well-rounded nose and palate are sure to please.

The skillful blending of malt whiskies from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries strike a different, yet just as refined balance, at this higher bottling strength, revealing a new side of Taketsuru with more lively and rich flavors.

Father of Japanese Whisky
Imagine if the Father of Japanese Whisky, Masataka Taketsuru, was still alive today. What would his ambition be?

Masataka Taketsuru dreamed of making authentic whisky in Japan. Crossing oceans in pursuit of this dream, he became the first Japanese to study whisky in Scotland before eventually establishing Nikka.

Masataka Taketsuru’s pioneering spirit is the source of our inspiration. Challenging convention, we created the extraordinary Taketsuru Pure Malt in his name.

Blending the Dream
We set ourselves a challenge: to create a pure malt even smoother than the finest blended whiskies. Where grain whisky is typically light and approachable, malt whisky offers richness and complexity. Blended whiskies often rely on grain whisky for smoothness, but pure malts have no such option.
Our blenders couldn’t take the orthodox, grain-whisky route. Like our founder, Masataka Taketsuru, we took the road less travelled in pursuit of an unlikely dream.
Yoichi and Miyagikyo are two very different distilleries, and each has a signature style that reflects its environment. Surrounded by snow, Yoichi echoes Scotland, while misty Miyagikyo lies deep in a Japanese valley.
We coaxed harmony from the clash of Yoichi’s robust malts and Miyagikyo’s elegance. This is Taketsuru Pure Malt — a malt at once spectacular and delicately smooth.
