Nikka from the Barrel Description
Have a wee cleanse of your palate before you try this one; this Japanese blend combines more than 100 types of select malt and grain whisky. The blend combines whisky from the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries. A wide variety of casks are used in the maturation process, including bourbon barrels, sherry butts and refill hogsheads. After blending, Nikka reserves and marries them in used casks for between 3 and 6 months to allow the elements to stabilise and harmonise.
Bottled at 51.4% abv, there is a huge depth of flavour in this stunning Japanese whisky. Nikka runs several distilleries in Japan and owns the Ben Nevis Distillery in Scotland.
