After finally getting my hands on a Nikka Taketsuru pure malt 21 year... JW Blue got kicked to the curb.[emoji14]
This 21 has great balance with a nose rich in ripe fruit and the complex changes in character that appear as the finish approaches and long after. It's a big step up from the 17 year, bigger and bolder with longer finish. It was very hard for wife and I to leave any for another day but with managed barely.
I'll spend the money and get the 21 over the 17 for sure. Now to find another bottle...
I have about a third of a bottle of the 17 left. It's lovely.
