Introduced to replace the beloved Nikka 12 Year Old, Tailored is a blend of malt whisky from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries as well as its Coffey Still grain. The whisky balances soft fruity notes with bitter notes of dark chocolate and citrus zest.
Well pronounced nose with melon, lemon, bitter orange, green grass and sage. A nice balance of minerals, lemon and bitter orange flavours to give a long lasting finish.
The base distillate comes through the "Coffey Still", a traditional continuous still which produces Nikka's whiskies, giving a silky texture and rich body. Botanicals include Japanese citrus such as Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu, Apple and Sansho pepper.
Intense fruit aromas characterize the younger malts of the Miyagikyo distillery. Smooth and delicious, light yet intense, this no age statement Single Malt bottling is a fine whisky to enjoy before a meal, and a fine introduction for those new to Japanese whisky.
A fine introduction to the Yoichi range, this no age statement bottling offers a distinctly fruit forward expression, while retaining the salty coastal influence of the distillery. A single malt which balances pleasure and personality, it can just as well be enjoyed before or after a meal.
Cosmo from Mars Maltage is a blended malt that includes whisky from Shinshu in Japan. It has a gold brown colour with a honey, caramel and dried fruit nose. A taste of raisin, toffee and caramel with a smoky nuance and dry rich finish.
Nikka from the Barrel is big-boned and bursting with character. Not averse to a drop of water, either. A real star, winning top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards in 2007 and 2010.
This single grain whisky was made with diverse unblended whisky brewing techniques and master craftsmanship developed over many years at the Chita Distillery in Aichi Prefecture. It features a light taste and delicately sweet fragrance.
The Nikka Coffey Malt is the result of a unique distillation process in “Coffey” type column stills, which are normally used for grain whisky production. This rare 100% malt bottling offers a surprisingly rich texture.
Released in 2014, this no-age statement Taketsuru bottling is a blend of malts aged 10 years on average in different types of oak casks. A high percentage of Miyagikyo malt gives a fresh fruity character, joined by mature aromas from an important sherry cask influence.
