Nikka Days Blended Whisky
(0.7l, 40%)
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.

Japanese Whisky can act as an interesting comparison between Scotch and Bourbon, being a Scotch-style spirit matured in conditions with greater temperature variation closer to Kentucky.

Ratings & Reviews
guest,
I really like how thick and creamy it is.
Rasmus,
Super easy, drinkable whisky. Not a lot of depth but still nice
Sami,
Quite easygoing and floral.
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,
Gentle and flowerish spirit, aroma is close to scotch, but the whole drink is a bit empty in taste
