Description
Mature malt and grain whiskies from Nikka's various distilleries have been blended and then re-casked together for a period to allow the whiskies to further integrate and develop. Notes of pineapple, wood varnish and a strong oak influence from the Japanese white oak casks. Bottled at a cask strength of 51.4% - a sensational example of the Japanese whisky style.

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Nikka Distillery

In 1934, Masataka established Nikka Whisky and his first distillery was built in Hokkaido and named Yoichi. The area was well-suited to whisky production, though its location was remote. In 1969, a second distillery was founded, Miyagikyo Distillery, or Sendai Distillery as it has been known. Its first whiskies were sold as Sendai Single Malt and it was not until Asahi Brewery’s acquisition of Nikka in 2001 that the Miyagiko Distillery was expanded to cope with national demand. The Nikka range includes the single malts from the pair of distilleries as well as a range of vatted and blended malts.
