For the third time in the last four years, Nikka Taketsuru 17 year old who also won the title of Best Japanes Blended Malt 2015, has been given the supreme title of World Best Blended Malt 2015 by experts of the jury of the World Whiskies Awards organized by Whisky Magazine.
Nikka Whisky with Taketsuru 17 year old will now stand again and proudly represent the art of Japanese whisky in the world, while Suntory was only awarded in the Japanese Whisky category of the WWA 2015 (Japanese Whisky category results).
A blended malt is a mix of single malts coming from different distilleries. Taketsuru is a blend of the best single malts from Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, both owned by Nikka Whisky.
Created in 2001 in honor of Masataka Taketsuru creator of Nikka and founding father of Japanese whisky, this multi awarded blended malt remains accessible in price (about 100 € in Europe) and availability in liquors shops, for exemple you'll find it on the dedicated online shop Uisuki.com.
