Taketsuru 21 Pure Malt is a blended malt named in honor of Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanense whisky.
Masataka Taketsuru is the first Japanese who mastered whisky-making in Scotland and produced the genuine whisky in Japan. Masataka’s vision of whisky was formed by his experience of whisky in Scotland, and he learned that the rich natural resources surrounding a distillery were essential for whisky-making. Based on this, he selected two places, Yoichi and Miyagikyo, and built two distilleries there.
