A limited edition blend from Nikka celebrating the company`s 90th anniversary. A blend of malt (including some Yoichi from the 1945!) and grain whisky across nine decades, from the 1940s to the 2020s, sourced from six distilleries - Yoichi, Nishinomiya, Miyagikyo, Moji, Satsumatsukasa and Ben Nevis.

Notes from the team at Nikka...

"Rich apple pie and raisin sweetness with toasty barrel-aging notes, gentle smokiness, and the nostalgic scent of antique furniture. Complex aromas evoke the feeling of standing in a whisky warehouse.

Mellow oak forms a base for spicy cinnamon, roasted nuts, and rich dark chocolate. Subtle peat bitterness balances sweet apricot jam and maple syrup, with an overall warmth reminiscent of sitting by a fireplace.

Gentle peat and full body with sweet and sour notes, leading to a pleasant bitterness on a very long finish."

Japan's First Distillery

Nikka's history dates back to the 1920s, when Masataka Taketsuru traveled to Scotland to study the art of whisky-making. Upon returning to Japan, he founded Nikka in 1934 and began producing some of the country's first single malt whiskies. Today, Nikka is one of the most respected whisky brands in the world, known for its exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

The production of Nikka whisky is a meticulous process that starts with carefully selecting the finest ingredients, including malted barley and water from the Japanese Alps. The barley is then mashed and fermented, before being distilled in traditional copper pot stills to produce a rich and complex spirit. The whisky is then aged in a variety of casks, including American oak, sherry oak, and Japanese Mizunara oak, to impart unique flavours and aromas.
