Nikka Nikka From The Barrel Japanese Blended Whisky & Ice Bucket Gift Pack 500ml

Description

Tasting Notes Ranked Number 1 in Whisky Advocate’s Top 20 Whiskies of 2018: “It is typically Japanese, yet singularly magnificent.” For us, this is a Whisky of the Year every year, especially when it comes in a sleek gift box with a matching ice bucket and tongs. Established in 1934, Nikka Whisky Co. has become a prominent fixture in Japan, known for products of outstanding quality and a focused, intense flavour. Nikka’s Whisky From The Barrel is a combination of more than 100 Japanese single malt and grain whiskies produced at the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries, which are blended and then re-casked into a massive variety of barrel types (Bourbon barrels, Shery butts, refill hogsheads and many more) to create a harmonious resulting spirit with an immense depth of flavour. Displaying floral, apricot, autumn leaves, antique oak, tobacco and citrus notes on the nose, the palate is big but well-balanced, with a depth of spicy oak, gingerbread, clove-y Christmas spices, stewed plums, sultanas, smoked sea salt, chipotle chilli and ripe fruit, leading to a long, persistent finish. Always a fine choice of gift for discerning whisky drinkers. Product Details Country: Japan Alcohol by volume (ABV): 51.4% Volume: 500ml
