Recycling Bamboo Crane (Nikka) Series

Taketsuru whisky is produced by Nikka Whisky Co., Ltd., founded by Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky. As a representative of pure malt whisky, the Taketsuru series has experienced shortages of raw materials, and several vintages (such as Taketsuru 17-year-old and 21-year-old) have been discontinued or released in limited quantities, which has directly led to a continuous rise in its price in the secondary market.

Hong Kang Trading Company is well aware of the market demand and scarcity of each bottle of Taketsuru whisky, and we offer professional valuation services for different versions (old white label, new black label, wooden box version).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - About recycling Nikka Taketsuru whisky

Q1: My Taketsuru whisky is unboxed (naked bottle). Does Hong Kang Trading Co., Ltd. buy it? A: Yes, we do! While boxed Taketsuru whisky usually fetches a higher price than unboxed whisky, as long as the whisky is well-preserved, the water level is normal, and the seal is unopened, we can provide a competitive market offer. Please take a photo and send it to us via WhatsApp for evaluation.

Q2: How can I distinguish between the old and new versions of Taketsuru? Is there a price difference? A: Yes, there is a significant price difference. Taking Taketsuru 17-year-old and 21-year-old whiskies as examples, the old version usually refers to the version before production ceased, or an early label design (such as a specific font layout or bottle shape). Due to their scarcity, old versions often have higher investment value for whisky . Our experts can accurately identify the version for you using photos.
