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.
Made using high quality rice that has been lightly milled to remove 40% of the rice's outer layer. Lighter in style than other sake, this has a crisp, dry and easy to drink style. A discrete nose with lime, lemon and straw. Dry palate with hints of citrus
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.
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.
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.
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.
Made with 100% Japanese white rice, the name Haku means 'white' in Japanese. The word can also be read as 'brilliant' a tribute to the craft of mastering a clear, clean, and luminous vodka. Filtered through bamboo charcoal, Haku has an unparalleled soft, round, and subtly sweet taste.
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.
A delicate balance is achieved by the skillful blending of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts. With impressive floral aromas, this expression offers an extremely silky mouthfeel and fruity flavors that rise and expand, leaving behind a delightful aftertaste.
NIKKA THE GRAIN is composed of old
Coffey grains (corn and malted barley) and
Coffey malts (100% malted barley) from
the now closed Nishinomiya distillery, as
well as Coffey grains and Coffey malts from
Miyagikyo. The finishing touches are added
by Barley Grain (malted and unmalted
barley) and Barley Grain and Corn & Rye
(malted barley, corn, rye), all distilled in
pot stills at the Moji and Satsumatsukasa
distilleries, which originally specialized in
Shochu production. Each spirit was carefully
selected from these four sites. Bottled at
48% ABV, NIKKA THE GRAIN reveals
a creamy texture and complex palette of
complementary aromas.
The ivory white label is design like a canvas.
Each of the four lines symbolizes the unique
aromatic input of the four distilleries.
NIKKA THE GRAIN celebrates Nikka
Whisky’s heritage and commitment to
offering whisky lovers across the globe
unique tasting experiences.
Our Akashi-Tai Yuzu liqueur uses an exceptionally high quantity of fresh yuzu from the Hyogo prefecture, which is pressed on arrival to preserve the clear aroma of the rare citrus fruit highly prized in Japan. It offers a touch of originality to the most refined cocktails and can be drunk neat or on ice as an aperitif or after dinner.
Supple and fruity, with refreshing aromas of grapefruit, it offers intense citrusy flavours and a sweetness that is perfectly balanced by the tanginess of the yuzu. The finale is invigoratingly cooling and aromatic.
