A limited edition release of “From the Barrel” by Nikka, this bottling commemorates the 40th anniversary if the brands most celebrated whisky.
Created using a combination of grain whisky from Nikka’s Coffey stills with malt whiskies sourced primarily from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, the liquids were aged to an average of 10 years in a fascinating variety of cask types. The final result was precisely blended and married for an extra 3-6 months before being bottled at 51.4% abv.
On the nose, notes of honey, beeswax and tropical pineapple along with nutmeg and ginger. There is also a gentle, elegant smoky character with a rich earthiness. On the palate there is candied lemon and cocoa powder along with roasted cereals and plum jam ending with a flinty, salty peat note.
