Nikka From The Barrel

Blended Japanese Whisky
50cl / 51.4%
Country: Japan

The complex formula is created by blending more than 100 different batches of malt and grain whiskies. After blending, the whisky is filled into used barrels and matured for another few months. This “marriage” process harmonizes all components in the formula, resulting in a mellow taste. Bottling is controlled at 51.4% ABV, almost equivalent to 90 British proof, that Nikka blenders determined through repeated experiments to achieve the ideal taste profile.

TASTING NOTE
NOSE
Medium-body with good balance. There are notes of cut flowers and fresh fruits, spice and a little oak.

PALATE
Full-bodied and punchy. There is plenty of winter spice and toffee, a little caramel and vanilla and a good mouthful of fruit.

FINISH
Long, warming and fruity with a little oaken spice.
