About this whiskey

Nikka From the Barrel blends malt and grain whiskies, then returns them to casks to marry before bottling at a robust 51.4%. The name reflects how close to the barrel it tastes.

Officially it is rich and oaky with vanilla, chocolate, orange peel and grain; thick and sweet on the palate, with a woody bitterness.

from the producer

Nikka Whisky was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, who studied whisky-making in Scotland and is often called the father of Japanese whisky. He built his first distillery at Yoichi, on the island of Hokkaido, for its cool, Scotland-like climate, and later added Miyagikyo in the forested hills near Sendai.

Nikka also operates rare Coffey column stills, and is known for full-bodied, characterful whiskies.
