Nikka From the Barrel

Description

Brand: Nikka
Category: Whisky
Type: Blended Malt
Region: Japan
Strength: 51.4% alc/vol

Bottled at 51.4% ABV. The blend combines both single malt and grain whisky from the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries, which are then married in a huge variety of casks, including bourbon barrels, sherry butts and refill hogsheads.

Tasting notes:
Nose: Mocha and sweet sherry, the European oak dominating in this batch with vanilla, toffee and liquorish allsorts.
Palate: Robust, with a chewable mouth explosion of rich dark toffee, spicy dark fruits and a smooth dark chocolate finish. Superb dram!
