Nikka Whisky From The Barrel – 750ml
nikka whiskey from the barrel-Bold by Nature, Brilliant by Craft Nikka Whisky From The Barrel is not for the faint of heart—and that’s what makes it so special. This cask-strength Japanese whisky is a blend of over 100 different malt and grain whiskies from Nikka’s legendary Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. Bottled at 51.4% ABV, it offers a robust, full-flavored experience that has earned international acclaim, including top honors at the World Whiskies Awards.
Unlike many whiskies diluted before bottling, this one retains its natural power and complexity, making every sip a statement of Japanese precision and bold creativity.
Tasting Notes nikka whiskey from the barrel
Nose:
Spiced oak meets soft vanilla and dried orange zest, followed by a warm hint of pepper and baking spices. Subtle floral notes and sweet sherry drift in the background.
Palate:
Full-bodied and intensely flavorful, it opens with candied citrus peel, clove, and cinnamon. Layers of grain sweetness, caramel, and bittersweet chocolate unfurl across the palate, accented by nutty undertones and a kiss of sherry.
Finish:
Dry, long, and warming. Notes of pine, toasted walnut, and a cocoa-like smokiness give way to a graceful fade.
A masterclass in balance—peppery and bold, yet layered with delicate fruit and silky sweetness.
