Nikka Whisky From The Barrel Japanese Whisky Gift Pack - 2 Glasses & Speed Pourer
Blend of a grain whisky and Miyagikyo and Yoichi single malts, Nikka From The Barrel embodies the expertise of the Nikka Whisky blenders. Intense and generous, powerful yet controlled, this ambitious high-proof blend is recognised for its originality. It dares. It captures the senses. It imposes its own style.
The secret behind its gorgeous flavour is the unique combination of complex blending, "marriage" process and higher ABV 51.4%. The iconic square bottle reflects its concept "a small block of whisky" and embodies the intense and rich flavours of the whisky inside.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Refined and complex. Floral (lilac), fruity (apricot), spicy (clove) and leathery.
- Palate: Powerful, firm. Spicy (pepper), oaky flavours evolving on ripe fruits (peach), caramelised apples and flowers (honeysuckle).
- Finish: Long and complex. Ripe fruits (prune, peach) on a background of oak-infused vanilla notes.
