Nikka From the Barrel

Founded in 1934 by Suntory's first master distiller, Nikka has risen to become Japan's second largest distiller, producing a wide range of single malts as well as their impressive blended whisky range. In 1918, Masataka Taketsuru embarked alone on a long voyage to Scotland. In this distant land the secrets of whisky-making would be imparted to this young Japanese man. 

A true emblem of the brand, Nikka From The Barrel is a whisky with a very strong character. Its definitely Japanese style seduces amateurs and novices alike. Powerful because of its cask strength bottling, but also intensely fruity and complex revealing notes of apricot, lilac and clove when opening, then aromas of peach, caramelized apples, honeysuckle, pepper and oak when tasting.
