Tasting Notes
"Oranges, raisins, pineapple, and plum fruit lead the nose. The palate brings abundant caramel, winter spice, and well-round sweetness from the rum's influence. Balance is there with fruit, spice, and sweetness evident but never overwhelming. The finish lingers on with spice and mouth-coating caramel. Definitely one of the best Nikka releases this year!"
