The 10 Years Old is the first distillery founded by Masataka Taketsuru on his own, in 1934, after his trip to Scotland. It is the new release of a discontinued single malt from the Nikka distillery.

An ode to yellow and orange fruit complexity, without forgetting a refreshing touch and a pinch of salty minerality. The fruity core is of peaches, apricots, yellow ripe apples, and sweet lemon zests. A splash of custard cream and a warm sweetness then takes over, with vanilla icing and butter-rich biscuits. In the end, aromatic essential oils of lime, orange and grapefruit bridge to a salty and mineral finish.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE

Among the whiskies tested in blind tastings and reviews throughout the year, those scoring the best get reselected. These products were then tried once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The only indication on the sample concerns the ABV content: a red mark states that the product has an ABV higher than 50% (100° proof). The test results are then compared, and the TOP 10 is made.</p
