The 'Taketsuru' series is named after the father of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru. After studying authentic whisky-making in Scotland, Taketsuru returned to Japan to create Scotch-style whisky with a Japanese terroir, founding the Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido and the Miyagikyo Distillery in Sendai.
The charm of Taketsuru 17 Years Old lies in its exquisite blending. Yoichi is known for traditional direct coal-fired distillation, producing spirits with a strong peaty and smoky character, while Miyagikyo uses Coffey Stills for a lighter, fruitier style. These two profiles merge over 17 years in oak barrels to create a velvet-like texture, making it a frequent winner in prestigious global competitions.
