The Nikka Tailored

Tasting at the Cantina

Nice warm and toasty feeling. Like taking a bite out of a terry’s chocolate orange. On the nose, it’s a great blend of dried stone fruit (apricot), dried fig, and somewhat of a toasty chocolate note. Smooth but a subtle notice of the grain which gives it a bit of texture. Big extraction of rich honey/caramel/vanilla notes from the barrell.

A whisky that is surprisingly light taste. There's notes of pears, white pepper, old casks but if they first sip feels rather sweet and balanced, the rest of a glass is disappointing and a bit boring. It's not entirely bad, but I wouldn't recommend this bottle to anyone.

Light mizunara and lychee nose with a lychee, peach, and light mizunara oak taste. Medium toasted lychee finish.
