Nikka Whisky From the Barrel

kind of mild

Very lite

Notes explode out of the glass with blueberries and strawberries, honey-drizzled dates, dark orange syrup, and a few drops of vanilla cream. Buried under the wave of spiced sweetness is a subtle peat note that infuses some smoke and earth. Underneath the sweetness and alcohol are some subtle oak and spice that counterbalance the sweetness and provide darkness and mustiness. Noticeable cinnamon and nutmeg spiced chocolate flavors make their way into every corner of my palate as well.
