Refreshing no-nonsense Nikka Whisky
 
Nikka is the founding father of the Japanese Whisky production, and we expect nothing less than perfection from them. And Nikka seems to deliver every time. Established in 1934 by the legendary Masataka Taketsuru (right after he helped establishing its rival Suntory), Nikka has been producing premium bottles without breaking a sweat. Their modus operandi is blending knowledge and tradition of the East and the West, and this bottle is the sum of all years.
 
Nikka Days Blended Whisky is a West-only expression that’s refreshingly no-B.S. The name is straightforward, the presentation is minimalistic, and all that matters is the smooth and fruity profile that can impress both neat or in a ritzy cocktail. Its approachability will enchant amateurs, while its creamy, almost Scottish character will please connoisseurs. The subtle blend of grain Whiskies is a welcome addition to your home bar during the Whisky shortage in Japan. But it’s more than just a consolation prize. It’s Nikka, after all.

Mr.
Mr.,
Flat not smooth just tasteless would not recommend
 
Michiel
Michiel,
It’s very light, a lot of vanilla, some white chocolate, raisins, friendly, nice pairing with a shot of good espresso. More summer night than winter evening.
 
Eoghan
Eoghan,
Very smooth, sweet.
 
Roy
Roy,
I think this one lived up to the blended characteristics. A good all rounder perhaps. Not enough peat/smoke for me, I was looking around for it with each dram like trying to find a needle in a hays stack. Before you know it, you've run out of hay...
 
Phil
Phil,
Nikka Days the affordable expression from Nikka, it's a blended grain whiskey with slightly peated malts. However, this is a very very light whisky with no lingering and faint finish. On the nose it is very light and balances and hard to pin point the notes but it reminded me of Yoichi. Tastes vanilla, maple syrup, and slight peat and coats your tongue. lingering finish is dry (like red wine) and linger liked the Yoichi. Overall is pleasant, everyday drink, well balanced. However, it's hard to single out specific element in a whiskey but just hints of everything that made this bottle.
 
David
David,
Sweet and fruity, light texture with a short finish.
 
Chris
Chris,
Very smooth, almost no burn
 
Rick
Rick,
Nice easy drinking with light burn.
 
Lawrence
Lawrence,
Great floral aroma, but the taste is quite mild and doesn't really have any standout elements. Definitely drinkable but somehow less than the sum of its parts. The aroma is probably the best thing about it, which is not really what you want!
 
Mark
Mark,
This is was fine. It just doesn't have the complexity or fullness of flavors of their other bottles. To me it just seems watered down which if it was priced at closer to $35 a bottle would seem a lot more reasonable.
 
Alistair
Alistair,
Drinkable, slightly fruity notes, but I wouldn't say worth the money to get from Japan when there are closer to home bottles that cost less for more flavour.
 
Jimmie
Jimmie,
It was decent
 
Jaakko
Jaakko,
Very light colour, nice golden hue still. Also light on the nose, but a pretty enjoyable refined experience still. Sugary, syrupy smell. First sip super enjoyable! Light, sweet, complex, very sweet, fresh. Raisins, some nice bread, woodchips. I really enjoy the sweetness, it's not too much but just right to make you go "oh ho!" Very nice, but maybe a little light for my tastes at this point. I'm left hoping for some more meat, but this is still very very good. Might want to get a whole bottle of this.

Quite easygoing and floral.
 
Norman
Norman,
So smooth... you can taste the caramel as you open the bottle, and it’s gentle on the throat while still delivering all its flavor!
 
guest
guest,
Gentle and flowerish spirit, aroma is close to scotch, but the whole drink is a bit empty in taste
 
Ben
Ben,
Smooth. Similer to Johnny walker black. But not as heavy on the taste. Very slight hint of liquorice on the nose. Very easy to drink.. oaky aftertaste.
 
William
William,
Very wide on its flavor profile. Light and citrusy, but I prefer my whiskies to be a littler bolder.
 
Ray
Ray,
Nose, was light smoke, spice, and ethanol. Flavor was very light and mellow smoke and spice but is about all I got. I expected more from this one.

It has a sweet yet smoky flavor to start and the caramel notes dissipate into to smooth short finish

Aaron
Aaron,
Slight iodine on the nose. Carmel, vanilla, and fruity flavors. So so subtle, and on the sweet side. Wish the flavors came out more, but not terrible.
 
Lawrence
Lawrence,
Fruity nose. Light spice. Sweet. Zest. Soft.
 
Robert
Robert,
Wow! This is one of those whiskeys you think is just okay when served neat, but over the rocks the sweeter, citrus profiles explode and becomes absolutely delicious like a citrus pound cake. Yummy!
 
Antti
Antti,
It is an outstanding, delicate, Japanese Blended Whisky with an aromatic birth; while a rich life leads to a short & dry death with hints of coffee, vanilla, malt & apricots.
 
Johan
Johan,
Wery good
 
Viyan
Viyan,
In a glencairn glass without adding water, it's a forgettable whiskey. On the nose, it comes off as nail polish with undertones of caramel. It lacks body. However, when you open it up with a few drops of water, the harsh alcohol smell disappears, and you're left with more caramel notes. On the palate, the citrus flavor (Especially orange) comes out. Unfortunately, for me, I don't get much more and the finish is short and still forgettable. In my opinion, I would not pay more than $25 for this bottle, but in all honesty, skip it altogether.
 
Jason

Long sweet tingles and warms the bones
 
Martin
Martin,
Initial nosing has a fresh bloom of lemon, apple, pear, and bit of orange. Tasting reveals a smooth flavor filled with some vanilla, caramel, apple, lemon cake, citrus and a bit of malt. Nice finish. Very enjoyable.
 
Timothy
Timothy,
Smooth sipping whiskey. I truly enjoyed the taste.
