Description
In a nutshell:
A richly flavoured, full bodied and fruity Japanese blended whisky matured in a range of oak barrels.
The lowdown:
From one of the first Japanese houses to establish an international reputation Nikka from the Barrel, a deservedly award winning whisky is a blend of both single malt and grain whiskies from Nikka's two distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo. It's matured in a variety of oak casks including bourbon barrels and sherry butts resulting in a finished product which has a huge depth of flavour. Floral, fruity and spicy aromas are followed by notes of oakiness and developing flavours of ripe and caramalised fruit. It signs off with a long and warming finish with a soft and spicy touch of oak.
The Distiller:
The Nikka Whisky Company was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, who brought his passion for whisky back to Japan after studying in Glasgow and marrying a Scot. The company boasts two distilleries. The original, Yoichi, is on Hokkaido's northern island, where the climate and geography resemble Scotland. Yoichis whiskies are known for their rich, peaty, and robust character. Meanwhile, the Miyagikyo distillery in Miyagi prefecture produces softer, more delicate expressions. They are owned by the Asahi Group.
