“Superb stuff by Nikka! This Taketsuru made with whiskies from Yoichi and Miyagikyo is really delicious ”

90
Nikka Taketsuru 21 year
February 2010 marked an extraordinary achievement for Nikka, as their Taketsuru 21yo scooped the title of 'World's Best Blended Malt Whisky' at the World Whiskies Awards for the third time in four years. Bravo, Nikka!

This dram has a cooper-like color.

Nose (91): more than average. honey, smoke, spices, cinnamon, nuts, chocolate, citrus, mango. This is a really nice nose!

Palate (90): powerful, oily. honey, smoke, spices, peat, citrus, vanilla, cocoa.

Finish (90): longer than average. honey, nuts, peat.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Nikka Taketsuru 21 year with 90 points over 100.
