Description
Nikka Whisky From The Barrel 50cl
The history behind Nikka Coffey gin starts in the 1960's, and comes from the expertise of the Japanese Nikka Whisky company. They have decades of experience blending whiskies, and creating white spirits.
In 1985 they created their 'From the Barrel' whisky. With this release Nikka wanted to create a barrel experience, with a full rich flavour - an experience that is normally only experience by blenders.
To create this blend they utilise more than 100 different batches of single malt and grain whiskies which are produced in the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. After blending they allow it to age for a number of months in a variety of different casks (including those used for bourbon and sherry).
Nikka believe that this marriage process, of the different whiskies and cask aging ensures a distinctly mellow whisky. The award it's won would lead us to believe this is indeed the case!
The final product is then bottled in the distinct square bottle - which represents "a small block of whisky".
This whisky truly does have a huge depth of flavour to it. This starts by enticing the nose with a floral aroma intertwined with fruit, a touch of spice and a warm oak quality.
In the mouth this is full-bodied with notes of winter spices, toffee and a little caramel. Vanilla and fruit blend perfectly on the tongue and linger through to the end. It finishes long, leaving a warmth of fruit and a touch of spice.

Perfect Serve
This can be enjoyed neat on its own at room temperature, or over ice. We liked this best with a large single ice-cube.
