Nikka From The Barrel Japanese Whisky (500ml)
Volume: 500ml ABV: 51% Age: No Age Statement Country: Japan
Nikka is a story of two very unique distilleries and one very important individual who helped create the Japanese whisky landscape. Founder Masataka Taketsuru is known as the father of Japanese whisky when in 1918 he visited Scotland to embark on his life long ambition to make genuine whisky.He became the first Japanese ever to master how to make it. First hired by Kotobukiya Limited (Suntory) to help build the Yamazaki Distillery in 1923 and in turn produce the first genuine whisky in Japan. Nikka boast two very different distilleries Yoichi Distillery first produced distillate in 1936 (North) and Miyagikyo Distillery (central) opened in 1969. Nikka have there own bottling plant and also boast one of the largest offerings in Japan.
Nikka from the Barrel was created to deliver full flavours and richness of whisky “from barrels” which only blenders can sniff and taste. As the whisky contains so many characteristic components at a higher abv of 51.%, it is essential to let the liquid “marriage” in refill casks for 3-6 months for it to stabilise and harmonize.
This Japanese blended whisky is an exceptional summer whisky which is excellent over ice or kept in the fridge.

I’ve been trying for years not to go down the whisky rabbit hole… but, too late! It turns out I love this whisky. Possibly not a hardcore “connoisseur” but I very much welcome the Japanese challenge to the traditional idea of what a whisky is supposed to be. Personally, I like the notes of fruit and flowers and the way it combines with the more traditional elements like smoke/peat. This whisky tastes really open, unpretentious, and at the same time has so much sophistication. I’m more of a wine drinker, and really, Nikka from the Barrel is charting new directions… in drinking more generally, IMO.
So, take it from someone who is desperate not to be a whisky drinker… buy this one… 😉
Cheers!
