PERSONALISEDNIKKA BLENDED JAPANESE WHISKY 43% 700ML
Super Nikka is a blended whisky born in 1962. One of the orignal Japanese Whiskies, and is very well known in Japan.
According to Nikka, Super Nikka is meant to represent a classic style of easy-to-drink blended whisky (i.e., smooth and mellow) with only slight touches of peatiness and sherry. The exact mix is unknown, but Nikka reports that this blend contains a high proportion of malt from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. I have also seen it stated that Nikka Coffey Malt and Coffey Grain whiskies (from their Coffey column still at Miyagikyo) are also present in the blend.
Classic style of blended whisky with gentle peatiness and hints of vanilla and sherry. These beautiful flavours are rounded and well-balanced with a smooth texture and mellow mouthfeel.
Nose: Honey and caramel. The fruit tends toward over-ripe banana and stewed apples. Touch of nuts. Vaguely herbaceous and mildly earthy (dry earth).
Palate: Similar to the nose, starts with light honey and caramel, with maybe a touch of chocolate. Apple, pear, and various tropical fruits.
Finish: Medium short. Oak and Peat.
