Nikka Whisky From the Barrel

My first forray into Japanese whisky, and an immediate favorite. Well rounded, dried fruits, plum, bit of oak.

Nikka whiskey from the barrel (barrel strenght) 5.4.2024 pub Glass: aromatic whiskey glass Color: yellow gold Nose: sherry and port wine notes, brown sugar/syrup sweetness, ash Palate: sweetness is not as present, ash, driftwood and dryness on the tongue, some excessive alcohol before adding Water. Water cut some sweet notes from the scent as well as most of the excessive burn and revealed some saltiness and floral aspects of the taste Finish: not very long. Some ashiness and driftwood continue to dominate Quality product, but not my personal favourite, 2,25
