Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt 21 Year Old w Wooden Box
This limited release wooden box set is extremely hard to find now and as such is selling for in excess of $3000 AUD in the U.K. My Japanese contact happened to come across one locally and I had to have it bought and shipped over.
After announcing the discontinuation of the 21 Year Pure Malt offerings, as I understand, it was commemorated with this limited edition Wooden box set which are currently in very high demand from collectors.
Both masculine and feminine, traditional and innovative, this outstanding pure malt is a worthy tribute to Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky and founder of Nikka.
