Taketsuru 35 Years Old: Market Positioning and Selling Points for Nikka Taketsuru 35

Nikka Taketsuru 35 Years Old is the pinnacle of Nikka's aged blended whiskies, a blend of original spirits from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries.

Taketsuru Brand and Market Background

All vintage Taketsuru series whiskies (12, 17, 21, 25 years) have been discontinued and replaced with non-age statement (NAS) versions. The secondary market price for vintage whiskies continues to rise.

Taketsuru 21 Years Old has won the WWA "World's Best Blended Malt Whisky" award multiple times, and its market price has steadily climbed since its discontinuation.

During the maturation process of high-aged whiskies (35 years and older), approximately 2-4% of the liquid evaporates each year due to the "Angel's Share." This means that only a fraction of the liquid initially put into the barrel remains for bottling – the older the vintage, the greater the loss, and the higher the rarity.

The Taketsuru series was officially discontinued in 2020, with the 35-year-old being the highest aged expression in the series. Since its discontinuation, interest in the international collector's market has continued to rise. For those interested in selling, these discontinued, top-tier blended whiskies are considered collector's assets.
