Nikka From the Barrel

A cult Japanese blend, presented in a small square bottle and bottled at 51.4% ABV. It blends malt and grain whiskies and stands out for its intensity: plenty of body, spice and wood, with a sweet, fruity background. It is powerful but very balanced, and gains with a few drops of water. It offers an enormous amount of flavour for its price and is a good way to discover Japanese whisky beyond the light styles.
