2014 is a memorial year for Nikka Corp for celebrating 80 years of its establishment, and also 120 years anniversary for Masataka Taketsuru (Founder of Nikka Corp.)'s birth year.
So this Port Wood finish is a memorial bottle and needless to say, it's a limited release.
Original Taketsuru is a vatted malt with different types of malt, but this Port Wood finish is changed the cask after vatted, and is matured into Port Wine cask from Portugal for about 2 years!
It's aroma is sweeter than that of the original one, has rich and deeper flavours.
Only 60 bottles are released in Kyushu area, so it's hard to find one around you.
If you find one, drink it!
Of course, you can drink it here at Leichhardt, but there's only one bottle available.
So please be hurry to come and drink this rare and wonderful whisky!
