Nikka Whisky From the Barrel

This is an extremely complex whisky. The first few sips I get walnut with a smoky and briny finish. The next few sips opened up with a stone fruit sweetness before tobacco kicks in. Definitely grab this one anytime you see it.

Very solid Japanese whisky. Drinkable dram with strong notes of honey; vanilla, caramel, and orange notes; and some light, but present, smoke along for the ride. Worth grabbing if you can find it for a good price!

Simply superb. Smooth and complex. Enjoyable neat or with a few drops of water. Amazing the Japanese don’t get more credit for their whiskeys.

Smokey, leather, tobacco, subtle sweetness
