Nikka Whisky From the Barrel

A few years ago, when I lived in Setagaya Tokyo, I'd walk into the local Summit grocery store and pick up a bottle of this amazing blended (married) whisky for the equivalent of $18 cms (¥1900). With all the attention it's gotten over the years, it's no wonder the price has gone up a little bit. It retails now adays in Japan for less than ¥3000 yen but a whopping $64 in Canada. Even at that price, it's worth it. At 51.4%, From the Barrel offers a flavorful drinking experience that blends spices, oak, grain and heat. It's a truly excellent whisky and I tip my hat at Nikka for putting together a great product at a reasonable price. P.s., if you get a chance to visit Miyagi province in Sendai, Nikka has one of their distilleries there and it's worth the trip.

lovely potent drop and the coolest bottle

Lidt sprittet, kraftig, lang eftersmag, kan klare er par dråber vand
