Taketsuru Pure Malt – No Box (73 USD)

Another high-quality whisky from the masters at Nikka, and named after the founder of the company, Taketsuru is an excellent expression from Nikka. At 73 USD for 70cl, there’s little reason not to grab one.

Hibiki 17 Year old Kachofugetsu (679 USD)

Of all Suntory’s products, the Hibiki remains a bestseller — it’s so popular that we at dekantā spend most of our time ensuring we are properly stocked in it. If you’ve ever tried the Hibiki, you understand. If you haven’t, it’s clearly time to change that.
