Description
Nikka From The Barrel brings together a range of malt and grain whiskies from Nikka’s distilleries in a blend built to capture the concentration of whisky drawn directly from the cask. Once the components are married, the whisky goes back into used casks for a second resting period, giving its strong elements time to settle into one another. It is bottled at 51.4% ABV in a compact 500 ml bottle.
The result is thick and assertive, opening on dried fruit, caramel, spice and oak before vanilla, dark toffee and a thread of gentle smoke come through. Warming pepper runs underneath, and the finish is long and structured, holding its shape through to the end.
