Nikka Whisky From the Barrel

The tasting notes are spot on. My new favorite Japanese bottle.

This is a lovely blend. It’s difficult to pin down the flavour as it keeps drifting to different places, but it’s a delightful mongrel. To attempt to describe it is tricky, but here goes: first hit is a fairly sweet, grain taste. It then moves to a rich fruity, spiciness that lingers for ages. The finish is a sweet sherry with cloves and salt. See, all over the place! Nice, ‘though!

Great Vanilla flavour
